Explanation of Condition
Damage to the lungs, most commonly seen after long-term smoking, but also in relation to industrial exposures and some inherited conditions. The lung tissues are replace by large cavities, or bullae, and the lungs lose their elasticity. As a result, breathing becomes more and more difficult, and affected individuals become increasingly limited in their activities. Lung infections become more common, and are the leading cause of death.
