The lungs are very important organs in the human body. If there is a problem with the lungs, it will have a great impact on our breathing. Many people feel uncomfortable in their lungs. After examination in the hospital, they will find that the examination results show that the texture of both lungs is thickened and blurred. When such examination results appear, there is no need to feel particularly nervous. The doctor will judge the specific situation based on many aspects. Case 1 To answer this question, we must understand the anatomy of the lungs. The human lungs are somewhat like sponges, loose and elastic. In addition to the alveolar tissue that carries out gas exchange, there are also trachea, bronchi, arteries, veins and lymphatic vessels. These tissues are denser than alveoli and branch out from the hilum between the two lungs toward the edges like branching trees, becoming thinner as they get closer to the edges. Case 2 X-rays are invisible rays that can penetrate the human body and make photographic film sensitive. Because various tissues in the human body have different degrees of light transmittance, the film's photosensitive image varies in intensity, thus revealing the internal structure. Case 3 X-ray examination of the chest, trachea, blood vessels and lymphatic vessels will show tree-like shadows on the fluorescent screen or photograph. It extends outward from the hilum of the lung, becoming thinner and thinner, and ends at the edges of the two lungs. The radiology department has a special term for this, called "lung texture." Case 4 When the trachea that makes up the "lung texture" becomes inflamed and the blood vessels become thicker and congested, the lung texture will become "enhanced" or "thicker". Causes of "thickening of lung texture" Case 5 Common causes include: acute and chronic tracheitis, bronchiectasis, congenital multiple lung cysts, atrial septal defect, ventricular septal defect, patent ductus arteriosus, rheumatic heart disease mainly caused by mitral valve stenosis, heart failure caused by various reasons, lymphocytic leukemia, interstitial pneumonia, collagen diseases, lung damage caused by harmful gases and trauma, etc. Case 6 However, there are obvious individual differences in the morphology and distribution of lung texture; some are thicker, some are thinner; due to different fluoroscopy and radiography conditions, some are blurry, some are clearer; and doctors' judgment standards are not exactly the same. Therefore, the "thickening of lung markings" reported by the radiology department should be analyzed in light of the specific circumstances to make a correct diagnosis.
