What does it mean that the textures of the lungs are increased and the edges are blurred please don

Enhanced lung markings are an abnormal sign, not a disease. There are many reasons for this situation, including physiological (such as obesity), pathological (such as bronchial and pulmonary abnormalities, pulmonary vascular abnormalities, pulmonary lymphatic diseases, etc.), and can also be technical factors (such as low conditions, improper image processing, etc.), and the specific reasons need to be judged in combination with your relevant information. In addition, the clinical significance of lung mark-enhancing alone is generally not very large, so it is recommended that you do not worry.

Combined with some symptoms, it may be bronchial inflammation, which should not be serious, just take medicine according to the doctor's instructions.

Prolonged coughing can cause increased interstitial exudation or thickening of bronchioles and small blood vessels, which will appear as thickening or increasing lung markings on plain x-rays. You may have had a cold in the last 2 months, causing chronic bronchitis that has not healed. If you smoke, you must quit.

The main thing that the report shows is that the bronchial tubes are not very healthy, which has a lot to do with his work.

It's time to quit smoking. If there is more texture, it means fibrosis. If it is too long, the lung capacity will also be poor, and the heart will also be affected in the future. Take more deep breaths and quit smoking.

If it's mild, it's not a big deal, just inflammation and cough, just take some medicine...

Lung markings are radial strips of shadows that extend from the hilum to the periphery of the lung field seen during chest imaging, and these shadows are more than that, that is, the lung markings are increased, and further examination of the potato file is required to the hospital to determine whether there is any abnormality.

Popular science interpretation. Lung markings are a common radiology term used to refer to dendritic shadows that radiate from the hilum to the gas-filled lobes of the lungs. Lung markings are mainly images composed of pulmonary arteries and pulmonary veins, and bronchial and lymphatic vessels are also involved in the composition of lung markings.

At the time of the lesion, the pulmonary veins, bronchus, and lymphatic vessels account for a larger proportion of the formation of lung markings than in the normal image, so the increase and enhancement of lung markings can be roughly divided into the following three morphological aspects:

1. The lung texture is coarse, the edge is clearer, and the lung texture that maintains the blood vessel direction from the lung stria to the lung lobe increases and is enhanced, which is common in rheumatic heart disease, atrioventricular septal defect, patent ductus arteriosus, heart failure, etc.

2. The lung texture is fine, the branches are few, and the edge is clear, among which the lung texture mixed with deformation and the lung texture enhancement of honeycomb image are common in chronic bronchitis and bronchiectasis.

3. The fibrous texture in the lung field is enhanced, which is common in miliary tuberculosis, pneumoconiosis, carcinomatous lymphangitis, etc.

** and common diseases.

Diseases that often cause this symptom include chronic bronchitis, bronchiectasis, interstitial lung disease, pulmonary edema caused by various heart diseases, etc., and can also be seen in long-term smokers and normal people.

How to identify. 1.Increased vascular lung markings.

The lung texture is enlarged, and the characteristics of maintaining blood vessels from the hilum to the lungs are often accompanied by the manifestations of heart enlargement, mainly seen in wind heart disease, congenital heart disease, etc.

2.Increased lymphoid lung markings.

Lung markings are thin reticulated in both lungs and are commonly seen in pneumoconiosis, cancerous lymphangitis, etc.

3.Increased lung markings in smoking.

Shows increased markings in both lungs, but walks normally, mainly due to chronic bronchitis caused by long-term smoking.

4.Increased physiologic lung markings.

It is mainly seen in the elderly and obese people. The former is due to the relatively abundant lung interstitium in the elderly, which shows increased lung markings on chest x-ray; The latter is due to the subject's obesity and increased subcutaneous fat, which leads to increased X-ray absorption, which causes the illusion of increased lung markings on chest x-ray.

5.Increased bronchial lung markings.

It is manifested as uneven thickness of lung markings, which is often mixed with deformation textures and small honeycomb shadows, which are common in chronic bronchitis and bronchiectasis.

Prompt. **The principle is to determine early**, quit smoking, and improve the body's immunity.

Condition analysis: Hello: Your condition belongs to the existence of bronchitis, mostly caused by cold, overwork, long-term smoking, etc., patients may have different degrees of cough, sputum, chest pain, etc., it is recommended to actively prevent it.

Guidance: It is recommended that you pay attention to rest, avoid overwork and mental tension, pay attention to keeping warm, avoid cold, etc., drink more warm water, eat more vegetables and fruits, etc., you can take oral cephalosporin tablets and virus spirit**, pay attention to a light diet, exercise actively, and hope that mine will help you.

Bronchitis, if you are older, it may be slow!

What's the deal with "thickening of lung markings"? It is not uncommon for patients to take the X-ray report and ask the doctor what is the cause of the thickening of the markings in both lungs.

In fact, to answer this question, it is necessary to understand the anatomy of the lungs. The two lungs of the human body are somewhat sponge-like, loose and elastic. In addition to the alveolar tissues where gas exchange takes place, there are trachea, bronchi, arterial and venous vessels, and lymphatic vessels.

These tissues, denser than the alveoli, branch from the hilum in the middle of the lungs like branches to the edges, and become thinner the closer they get to the edges. X-rays are light rays that are invisible to the naked eye and are able to penetrate a person's body and sensitize photographic film. Due to the different degrees of light transmission of various tissues in the human body, the light-sensitive images of the film have different shades, thus showing the internal structure.

X-rays pass through the chest, trachea, blood vessels, and lymphatic vessels, and show dendritic shadows on a fluorescent screen or **. It extends outward from the hilum and becomes thinner and thinner, ending at the edges of both lungs. In this regard, there is a special term in radiology called "lung texture".

When the trachea, which makes up the "lung mark", becomes inflamed and the blood vessels thicken and congested, the lung markings become "enhanced" or "thickened". The common causes of "thickening of lung markings" are: acute and chronic bronchitis, bronchiectasis, congenital multiple pulmonary cysts, atrial septal defects, ventricular septal defects, patent ductus arteriosus, rheumatic heart disease based on mitral stenosis, heart failure, lymphocytic leukemia, interstitial pneumonia, collagen diseases, lung damage caused by harmful gases and trauma.

However, there are obvious individual differences in the morphology and distribution of lung textures, some are coarser and some are thinner. Due to different conditions, some are blurry, and some are clearer; Doctors' criteria are not exactly the same. Therefore, the "thickening of lung textures" reported by the radiology department should be analyzed in combination with the specific situation to make a correct diagnosis. **Method, prescribing traditional Chinese medicine.
