Preferred Label : Pulmonary Emphysema;
NCIt related terms : EMPHYSEMA; Emphysema, unspecified;
NCIt definition : A subcategory of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It occurs in people
who smoke and suffer from chronic bronchitis. It is characterized by inflation of
the alveoli, alveolar wall damage, and reduction in the number of alveoli, resulting
in difficulty breathing.;
Alternative definition : FDA: A condition characterized by increase beyond normal in the size of air spaces
distal to the terminal bronchioles, either from dilatation of the alveoli or from
destruction of their walls.; NCI-GLOSS: Pulmonary emphysema is a disorder affecting the alveoli (tiny air sacs)
of the lungs. The transfer of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the lungs takes place in
the walls of the alveoli. In emphysema, the alveoli become abnormally inflated, damaging
their walls and making it harder to breathe. People who smoke or have chronic bronchitis
have an increased risk of emphysema.; CDISC: Abnormal enlargement of the air space distal to the terminal bronchiole accompanied
by destructive changes in the alveolar septa.;
