What is Emphysema Overview and ICD-10 Insights about?
Emphysema is a chronic lung disease characterized by damage to the air sacs in the lungs. Long-term exposure to irritants like cigarette smoke causes inflammation and excessive release of enzymes that destroy lung tissue. This leads to enlarged air sacs and reduced lung function. Treatment focuses on managing symptoms, slowing progression, and improving quality of life through smoking cessation, medications, pulmonary rehabilitation, oxygen therapy, and sometimes surgery.
