Here is the list of various respiratory diseases.
1) Alpha-1 antitrypsin:
➜It is a genetic condition that puts people risk for lung and river disease. It is protein produced by the body to protect various organs from damage caused by the body's own immune system. BUT IF THIS PROTEIN IS LACKING, A PULMONARY (RESPIRATORY) DISEASE IS CAUSED. It can lead to COPD
PREVENTION—It requires a different, specialized type of treatment.
2) Asthama:
➜It is a reactive airway disease, involves inflammation of the airways, usually in response to triggers such as pollen or dust, cold weather, stress or chemical fumes.
PREVENTION—Getting vaccines, avoiding Asthama triggers, monitoring your breathing.
3) Bronchiectasis:
➜It causes abnormal widening of the airways, making it difficult to rid the lower airways of mucus and phlegm, which raises the risk of infection.
PREVENTION—Vaccines for measles and whooping cough, annual flu vaccinations.
4) Cystic fibrosis:
➜It is a genetic disorder that causes mucus in organs, including lungs, to become thick and sticky. Respiratory complications include infections, infamation and respiratory failure.
PREVENTION—Vaccines for measles and whooping cough, annual flu vaccinations.
5) Pulmonary fibrosis:
➜It is a type of interstitial lung disease, the umbrella term for more than 200 disorders that causes progressive and usually irreversible scarring, or fibrosis, of the lungs.
PREVENTION—Vaccines for measles and whooping cough, annual flu vaccinations.
6) Sarcoidosis:
➜It is a rare condition that can arise in different parts of the body. Sarcoidosis involves the growth of tiny infammatory cells that may affect a number of organs, most often lungs.
PREVENTION—Vaccines for measles and whooping cough, annual flu vaccinations.
7) Lung cancer:
➜It affects the lungs in multiple ways. Tumors may block airways, or fluid can collect around either lung, making expansion difficult. Lung cancer can also cause inflammation in the respiratory system.
PREVENTION—Don't smoke, minimise exposure to outdoor air pollution, exercise, get regular check-ups.
8) Pneumonia:
➜It is a lung infection most commonly caused by bacteria or viruses. People with chronic respiratory conditions like COPD are more vulnerable to developing pneumonia.
PREVENTION—Washing hands regularly, getting vaccinations
9) Tuberculosis:
➜It is a bacterial infection that affects the lungs and other parts of the body. TB can be inactive, or latent, for many years.
