    COPD is a disease characterized by permanent airflow limitation caused by damage to the lungs, including emphysema which destroys alveoli and chronic bronchitis which involves chronic cough and phlegm production. It requires chronic airflow obstruction on spirometry, with a low FEV1/FVC ratio, and chronic bronchitis alone without obstruction does not qualify as COPD. The most common symptoms are cough, sputum production, and shortness of breath with exertion.

    COPD

    (PPOK)
    • (COPD) is defined as a disease state characterized by airflow limitation
    that is not fully reversible.
    • COPD includes emphysema, an anatomically defined condition
    characterized by destruction and enlargement of the lung alveoli; chronic
    bronchitis, a clinically defined condition with chronic cough and phlegm;
    and small airways disease, a condition in which small bronchioles are
    narrowed.
    • COPD is present only if chronic airflow obstruction occurs; chronic
    bronchitis without chronic airflow obstruction is not included within COPD.
    Causes
    Clinical Manifestation
    • The three most common symptoms in COPD are
    Cough, Sputum production, and Exertional dyspnea.
