Increased lung texture

With the continuous advancement of medical technology, many new devices have emerged. These devices can intuitively see the various organs of the human body. It is no longer necessary to judge the disease only by observation, smell, questioning and palpation as before. The lungs are an important place for breathing, but many people do not have many lung examinations. They only think of taking a lung film when they feel uncomfortable such as coughing. The basis for judging the disease is the increase in lung texture.

Through visual inspection, we can see that if the lung texture increases, it is a precursor to disease, but this cannot be generalized. Other examinations and comprehensive considerations are needed to diagnose certain lung diseases. The following are some of the various types of lung texture weight gain phenomena:

1. Increased vascular lung markings: The lung markings are coarse, and the blood vessels are maintained from the hilum to the lungs, often accompanied by an enlarged heart, which is mainly seen in rheumatic heart disease, congenital heart disease, etc.

2. Increased lymphatic lung markings: The lung markings appear as fine reticular patterns in both lungs, which are commonly seen in pneumoconiosis, carcinomatous lymphangitis, etc.

3. Increased lung markings due to smoking: Increased lung markings on both lungs, but normal movement, mainly due to carbon monoxide deposition caused by long-term smoking.

4. Physiological increase in lung markings: mainly seen in the elderly and obese people. The former is due to the fact that the lung interstitium of the elderly is relatively abundant, which makes it more obvious on chest X-rays.

The above introduces the phenomenon of various lung texture increases. I hope it will be helpful to you. Increased lung texture does not necessarily mean a serious disease. Sometimes it may be caused by inflammation. But now that medical technology is advanced, you will be asked to get checked for any illness, whether it is major or minor, so it is more reassuring. You must have a good attitude and face any situation positively.
