Diseases of the lungs, bronchi and pleura (pulmonology)

Respiratory distress syndrome in adults

Adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is an acute respiratory failure that occurs with acute lung injury of various etiologies and is characterized by non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema, respiratory failure, and hypoxia.

Pulmonary embolism (TELA)

Pulmonary embolism (PE) is the occlusion of the main trunk of the pulmonary artery or its branches of various calibers by a thrombus that initially formed in the veins of the systemic circulation or in the right cavities of the heart and carried into the vascular bed of the lungs by the blood flow.

Pulmonary heart

Cor pulmonale is a hypertrophy and dilation of the right chambers of the heart that occurs as a result of hypertension in the pulmonary circulation due to diseases of the bronchi and lungs, lesions of the pulmonary vessels, or deformations of the chest.

Pulmonary hypertension

Pulmonary hypertension (pulmonary arterial hypertension) is an increase in pressure in the pulmonary artery system, which may be due to an increase in resistance in the pulmonary vascular bed or a significant increase in the volume of pulmonary blood flow.

Primary pulmonary hypertension: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

Primary pulmonary hypertension is a primary persistent increase in pressure in the pulmonary artery of unknown genesis. The disease is based on concentric fibrosis, hypertrophy of the media of the pulmonary artery and its branches, as well as multiple arteriovenous anastomoses.

Primary bronchopulmonary amyloidosis

Primary bronchopulmonary amyloidosis is a primary disease characterized by the deposition of amyloid in the lung parenchyma, vascular walls, respiratory tract mucosa, pleura, and mediastinal lymph nodes.

Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (leiomyomatosis): causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (leiomyomatosis), disseminated - a pathological process characterized by tumor-like proliferation of smooth muscle fibers along the small bronchi, bronchioles, walls of blood and lymphatic vessels of the lungs, followed by microcystic transformation of the lung tissue. The disease affects only women aged 18-50 years.

Alveolar microlithiasis of the lungs: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

Alveolar microlithiasis of the lungs is a disease characterized by the deposition of substances in the alveoli consisting of mineral compounds and proteins. The disease is rare, occurs at any age, but mainly at the age of 20-40 years. Women are more often affected.

Alveolar pulmonary proteinosis

Alveolar proteinosis of the lungs is a disease of unknown etiology, characterized by the accumulation of protein-lipid substance in the alveoli and moderately progressive dyspnea.

Goodpasture's syndrome: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

Goodpasture's syndrome (hemorrhagic pulmonary-renal syndrome) is a progressive autoimmune disease of the lungs and kidneys, characterized by the formation of antibodies to the basement membranes of the capillaries of the glomeruli of the kidneys and alveoli and manifested by a combination of pulmonary and renal hemorrhages.
