Asthma rhiniti (respiratory organ)
About asthma
Bronchial asthma,
Bronchial asthma,
It can be hard to notice
Bronchial asthma is a condition where the bronchi occasionally narrow, causing shortness of breath, coughing, and a harsh breathing sound (wheezing) from the throat. The symptoms are repetitive and appear in sudden attacks.
Although bronchial asthma is a very common disease, accounting for about 5% of adults in South Korea, many patients live without knowing their condition.
This is because the symptoms can appear suddenly and then return to normal due to the nature of the disease, and sometimes not all typical symptoms are present.

where genetic factors are important
Asthma is a disease that occurs due to a combination of genetic and environmental factors.
The frequency of asthma occurrence in children whose parents do not have asthma is less than 3%, but it is known to exceed 30% in children whose parents have asthma. This indicates that genetic factors are very important.
People with such genetic predispositions who are exposed to allergens like dust mites, pollen, pets, and mold may develop asthma due to inflammation in the airways.
Asthma diagnosis method
Here are three ways to
Here are three ways to
diagnose bronchial asthma
POINT 1
Lung function test
Diagnosing Asthma The most basic and crucial test for diagnosing and continuously monitoring bronchial asthma is a lung function test. By proving the reversible characteristic of airway obstruction through lung function tests, a diagnosis can be made.
POINT 2
Bronchial provocation test
However, in many cases, normal lung function is shown, so bronchial provocation tests are performed to prove the hypersensitivity of the airways and thus confirm asthma. Additionally, allergy skin reaction tests and blood tests are conducted to identify the causative substances of asthma.
POINT 3
Sputum tests
Moreover, examining the inflammatory state of the airways through sputum tests can be helpful in diagnosis.
