Abstract

Irreversible airflow limitation develops in some patients with asthma and is related to poorer prognosis. This paper reviews recent literature on natural course, risk factors, and potential mechanisms of persistent airflow limitation in asthma. The natural course of persistent airflow limitation in asthma is poorly known, but reduced lung function at disease onset and an increased rate of decline during adult life contribute to its development. Risk factors for progressive irreversible airway obstruction in asthma include adult onset, frequent exacerbations, smoking, occupational exposure, ongoing eosinophilic airway inflammation and airway hyperresponsiveness. Polymorphisms of the ADAM33 gene predict excess decline in lung function, in asthma as well as at population level. It is still not clear how different components of airway remodeling affect lung function in asthma. Airway epithelium and airway smooth muscle seem to be highly important, but the interrelationship between persistent airflow limitation, airway inflammation, remodeling and airway hyperresponsiveness has not been clearly defined. Whereas several factors have been implicated as being important in the development of fixed airway obstruction in asthma, we are ju...Continue Reading

Asthma

This feed focuses in Asthma in which your airways narrow and swell. This can make breathing difficult and trigger coughing, wheezing and shortness of breath.

Allergy and Asthma

Allergy and asthma are inflammatory disorders that are triggered by the activation of an allergen-specific regulatory t cell. These t cells become activated when allergens are recognized by allergen-presenting cells. Here is the latest research on allergy and asthma.
