Bronchitis Uremic

Uremic bronchitis, or uremic bronchonitis (broncho-obstructive cough), is one of the common forms of inflammation of the lower respiratory tract. Bronchitis can develop as a result of damage to the bronchial walls by various infectious and non-infectious agents, including bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites (protozoa, helminths). It is often associated with emphysema (softening of the lung tissue) and chronic bronchitis. These diseases can be both acute and chronic. Chronic bronchitis lasts a long time, often relapses and is progressive. Among chronic pulmonary diseases, bronchitis ranks second after chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Sometimes bronchitis and COPD coexist at the same time. Often, patients who have constant complaints of shortness of breath are detected already in the presence of complications, such as cardiopulmonary failure caused by a mixed etiology of damage to the pulmonary-cardiac complex. If chronic bronchitis develops after acute bronchitis, it occurs with periods of exacerbations and remissions. The risk of developing chronic bronchitis is in any case higher after acute bronchitis, especially with an irregular cough, pharyngitis and sinusitis.
