Induration of the Lungs Brown Primary

Primary brown induration of the lungs is fibrosis of the lung tissue, the development of which is caused by impaired circulation in the respiratory organs. It is one of the most common lung diseases, which can lead to serious consequences such as respiratory failure and chronic bronchitis.

The reasons for the development of secondary brown induration of the lungs can be different, but it is usually associated with the presence of other diseases, such as heart failure, pneumonia, chronic bronchitis, tuberculosis, myocardial infarction or chronic hypertension. In most cases, the cause of pulmonary induration is Edas-Viskinges syndrome. This condition occurs as a result of damage to the alveoli and leading to their sclerosis.

Often the disease manifests itself without previous symptoms and develops in connection with concomitant pathologies. It is noteworthy that in older people the disease develops more often, and in 90% of cases a diffuse form of induration is diagnosed, which practically does not manifest itself.

To identify the disease, a chest x-ray, spirometry and determination of the diffusion capacity of the lungs are performed. Additional diagnostic methods are CT and bronchial biopsy. In the early stages of the disease, there are no symptoms, tissue elasticity gradually decreases and signs of respiratory failure appear. Breathing becomes wheezing, noises become louder, a cough appears, and possible deformation of the sternum. Therefore, it is very important to consult a doctor if you experience
