COPD, or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, is a broad term used to describe obstructive lung diseases including emphysema and chronic bronchitis. COPD is characterized by shortness of breath, chronic cough, and excessive sputum production. COPD is frequently associated with cigarette smoking.
Hypoxia refers to inadequate delivery of oxygen to the tissues. Hypoxia is frequently caused by chronic lung diseases. Home oxygen is commonly prescribed for this condition.
ILD, or interstitial lung disease, refers to a large group of lung diseases that involve the lung tissue around the alveolar air sacs. ILD often involves pulmonary fibrosis (scarring of the lungs).
Lung Nodules are small rounded growths in the lung. They are frequently benign but may require further testing to exclude malignancy.
