- Causes: Main contributors are smoking history, environmental factors like air quality deterioration, and genetic predisposition (in rare cases).
- Diagnosis: Diagnosis typically involves pulmonary function tests (spirometry) along with imaging studies like chest X-rays or CT scans for evaluation of lung damage.
- Treatment options: Options range from bronchodilators inhalers to corticosteroids; some patients may require oxygen therapy in advanced stages.
A comprehensive approach helps enhance lung function and improve overall quality of life for COPD patients.
DIABETES SCREENING
