Clear All Filters ×Abscess
An abscess is a pocket of pus. You can get an abscess almost anywhere in your body. When an area of your body becomes infected, your body's immune system tries to fight the infection. White blood cells go to the infected area, collect within the damaged tissue, and cause inflammation. During this process, pus forms. Pus is a mixture of living and dead white blood cells, germs, and dead tissue. Bacteria, viruses, parasites and swallowed objects can all lead to abscesses. Skin abscesses are easy to detect. They are red, raised and painful. Abscesses inside your body may not be obvious and can damage organs, including the brain, lungs and others.
Acute Bronchitis
Bronchitis is an inflammation of the bronchial tubes, the airways that carry air to your lungs. It causes a cough that often brings up mucus. It can also cause shortness of breath, wheezing, a low fever, and chest tightness. There are two main types of bronchitis: acute and chronic . Most cases of acute bronchitis get better within several days. But your cough can last for several weeks after the infection is gone. The same viruses that cause colds and the flu often cause acute bronchitis. These viruses spread through the air when people cough, or through physical contact (for example, on unwashed hands).

Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency
What is alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AAT deficiency)? Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AAT deficiency, or AATD) is an inherited condition that raises your risk for lung and liver disease. If you have this condition, your body doesn't make enough alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT). AAT is made by your liver. It helps protect your lungs from inflammation and irritating substances you might breathe in, such as smoke. If your liver doesn't make enough AAT, your lungs may be more easily damaged from smoking , pollution , or dust from the environment. This can lead to a serious lung condition called chronic obstructive pulmonary disease ( COPD ).
Alveolar proteinosis
Designated in federal medical registries as J84.01, Alveolar proteinosis falls under Lungs & Asthma management, where lung diffusion capacity in Alveolar proteinosis (J84.01: (DLCO)) establishes baseline severity and rules out diagnostic mimics.
Anthrax
Anthrax is a disease caused by Bacillus anthracis, a germ that lives in soil. Many people know about it from the 2001 bioterror attacks. In the attacks, someone purposely spread anthrax through the U.S. mail. This killed five people and made 22 sick. Anthrax is rare. It affects animals such as cattle, sheep, and goats more often than people. People can get anthrax from contact with infected animals, wool, meat, or hides. It can cause three forms of disease in people. They are: Cutaneous, which affects the skin. People with cuts or open sores can get it if they touch the bacteria. Inhalation, which affects the lungs.
Aspergillosis
Aspergillosis is a disease caused by a fungus (or mold) called Aspergillus. The fungus is very common in both indoors and outdoors. Most people breathe in the spores of the fungus every day without being affected. But some people get the disease. It usually occurs in people with lung diseases or weakened immune systems. There are different kinds of aspergillosis. One kind is allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (also called ABPA). Symptoms of ABPA include wheezing and coughing. ABPA can affect healthy people but it is most common in people with asthma or cystic fibrosis. Another kind is invasive aspergillosis, which damages tissues in the body.
Asthma
What is asthma? Asthma is a chronic (long-term) lung disease. It affects your airways, the tubes that carry air in and out of your lungs. When you have asthma, your airways can become inflamed and narrowed. This can cause wheezing, coughing , and tightness in your chest. When these symptoms get worse than usual, it is called an asthma attack or flare-up. What causes asthma? The exact cause of asthma is unknown. Genetics and your environment likely play a role in who gets asthma. An asthma attack can happen when you are exposed to an asthma trigger. An asthma trigger is something that can set off or worsen your asthma symptoms.
Atelectasis
Designated in federal medical registries as J98.11, Atelectasis falls under Lungs & Asthma management, where vaccination review [Atelectasis J98.11] establishes baseline severity and rules out diagnostic mimics.

Breathing Problems
When you're short of breath, it's hard or uncomfortable for you to take in the oxygen your body needs. You may feel as if you're not getting enough air. Sometimes you can have mild breathing problems because of a stuffy nose or intense exercise. But shortness of breath can also be a sign of a serious disease.
Bronchial Disorders
When you breathe in, the air travels down through your trachea (windpipe). It then goes through two tubes to your lungs. These tubes are your bronchi. Bronchial disorders can make it hard for you to breathe. The most common problem with the bronchi is bronchitis, an inflammation of the tubes. It can be acute or chronic .

COPD
What is COPD? COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) is a group of lung diseases that make it hard to breathe and get worse over time. Normally, the airways and air sacs in your lungs are elastic or stretchy. When you breathe in, the airways bring air to the air sacs. The air sacs fill up with air, like a small balloon. When you breathe out, the air sacs deflate, and the air goes out.
COPD exacerbation
Physicians managing COPD exacerbation (also termed Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease exacerbation or Respiratory) (J44.1; Asthma, COPD & Respiratory Disease) utilize post-bronchodilator spirometry [COPD exacerbation J44.1] and objective Spirometry FEV1 / in COPD exacerbation (J44.1: FVC Ratio) targets (>= 0.75 (FEV1 >= 80% predicted) (J44.1)) to prevent progression and functional morbidity.
Centrilobular emphysema
Within Asthma, COPD & Respiratory Disease practice, Centrilobular emphysema (ICD-10 J43.2) is stratified through FeNO/eosinophil Type-2 inflammation in Centrilobular emphysema (J43.2: phenotyping), pairing targeted symptom control with longitudinal Fractional Exhaled Nitric in Centrilobular emphysema (J43.2: Oxide (FeNO)) surveillance.
Chest Pain
Having a pain in your chest can be scary. It does not always mean that you are having a heart attack . There can be many other causes, including: Other heart problems, such as angina Panic attacks Digestive problems, such as heartburn or esophagus disorders Sore muscles Lung diseases, such as pneumonia , pleurisy , or pulmonary embolism Costochondritis - an inflammation of joints in your chest Some of these problems can be serious. Get immediate medical care if you have chest pain that does not go away, crushing pain or pressure in the chest, or chest pain along with nausea, sweating, dizziness or shortness of breath. Treatment depends on the cause of the pain.
Chronic Bronchitis
What is chronic bronchitis? Chronic bronchitis is a type of COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease). COPD is a group of lung diseases that make it hard to breathe and get worse over time. The other main type of COPD is emphysema . Most people with COPD have both emphysema and chronic bronchitis, but how severe each type is can be different from person to person. Chronic bronchitis is inflammation (swelling) and irritation of the bronchial tubes. These tubes are the airways that carry air to and from the air sacs in your lungs. The irritation of the tubes causes mucus to build up.
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Designated in federal medical registries as J44.9, Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease falls under Lungs & Asthma management, where high-resolution chest imaging in Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (J44.9: when indicated) establishes baseline severity and rules out diagnostic mimics.
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
Under Asthma, COPD & Respiratory Disease diagnostic criteria (J44.9), workup for Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) (also termed Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or Respiratory) integrates vaccination review [Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) J44.9] with evidence-graded therapy tailored to Resting Pulse Oximetry in Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) (J44.9: (SpO2)) response.
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with (acute) exacerbation
Recognized across U.S. clinical coding as J44.1 (Lungs & Asthma), Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with (acute) exacerbation is evaluated via high-resolution chest imaging in Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with (acute) exacerbation (J44.1: when indicated) to align day-to-day symptom relief with long-term physiological stability.
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with (acute) lower respiratory infection
Within Asthma, COPD & Respiratory Disease practice, Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with (acute) lower respiratory infection (ICD-10 J44.0) is stratified through lung diffusion capacity in Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with (acute) lower respiratory infection (J44.0: (DLCO)), pairing targeted symptom control with longitudinal Blood Eosinophil Count [Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with (acute) lower respiratory infection J44.0] surveillance.
Cold and Cough Medicines
What are cold and cough medicines? Cold and cough medicines can help relieve symptoms of a common cold . The symptoms of a cold can include a sore throat, stuffy or runny nose, sneezing, and coughing . You don't usually need to treat a cold or the cough that it causes. You can't cure a cold, and antibiotics won't help you get better. But sometimes the symptoms can keep you awake or cause a lot of discomfort. In that case, cold and cough medicines can sometimes be helpful.
Collapsed Lung
A collapsed lung happens when air enters the pleural space, the area between the lung and the chest wall. If it is a total collapse, it is called pneumothorax. If only part of the lung is affected, it is called atelectasis. Causes of a collapsed lung include: Lung diseases such as pneumonia or lung cancer Being on a breathing machine Surgery on the chest or abdomen A blocked airway If only a small area of the lung is affected, you may not have symptoms. If a large area is affected, you may feel short of breath and have a rapid heart rate. A chest x-ray can tell if you have it. Treatment depends on the underlying cause.
Cough
Coughing is a reflex that keeps your throat and airways clear. Although it can be annoying, coughing helps your body heal or protect itself. Coughs can be either acute or chronic. Acute coughs begin suddenly and usually last no more than 2 to 3 weeks. Acute coughs are the kind you most often get with a cold , flu , or acute bronchitis . Chronic coughs last longer than 2 to 3 weeks.
Coughing up blood
Designated in federal medical registries as R04.2, Coughing up blood (also termed Hemoptysis) falls under Lungs & Asthma management, where vaccination review [Coughing up blood R04.2] establishes baseline severity and rules out diagnostic mimics.
Cystic Fibrosis
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an inherited disease of the mucus and sweat glands. It affects mostly your lungs, pancreas, liver, intestines, sinuses, and sex organs. CF causes your mucus to be thick and sticky. The mucus clogs the lungs, causing breathing problems and making it easy for bacteria to grow. This can lead to repeated lung infections and lung damage. The symptoms and severity of CF can vary. Some people have serious problems from birth. Others have a milder version of the disease that doesn't show up until they are teens or young adults. Sometimes you will have few symptoms, but later you may have more symptoms.
Emphysema
What is emphysema? Emphysema is a type of COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease). COPD is a group of lung diseases that make it hard to breathe and get worse over time. The other main type of COPD is chronic bronchitis . Most people with COPD have both emphysema and chronic bronchitis, but how severe each type is can be different from person to person. Emphysema affects the air sacs in your lungs. Normally, these sacs are elastic or stretchy. When you breathe in, each air sac fills up with air, like a small balloon. When you breathe out, the air sacs deflate, and the air goes out. In emphysema, the walls between many of the air sacs in the lungs are damaged.
Empyema
For patients presenting with Empyema (ICD-10-CM J86.9), Asthma, COPD & Respiratory Disease protocols prioritize high-resolution chest imaging in Empyema (J86.9: when indicated) paired with baseline and interval Resting Pulse Oximetry in Empyema (J86.9: (SpO2)) assessment.
Endoscopy
Endoscopy is a procedure that lets your doctor look inside your body. It uses an instrument called an endoscope, or scope for short. Scopes have a tiny camera attached to a long, thin tube. The doctor moves it through a body passageway or opening to see inside an organ. Sometimes scopes are used for surgery, such as for removing polyps from the colon. There are many different kinds of endoscopy. Here are the names of some of them and where they look.: Arthroscopy: joints Bronchoscopy: lungs Colonoscopy and sigmoidoscopy: large intestine Cystoscopy and ureteroscopy: urinary system Laparoscopy : abdomen or pelvis Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy: esophagus and stomach
Environmental Health
Our environment affects our health. If parts of the environment, like the air , water , or soil become polluted, it can lead to health problems. For example, asthma pollutants and chemicals in the air or in the home can trigger asthma attacks. Some environmental risks are a part of the natural world, like radon in the soil. Others are the result of human activities, like lead poisoning from paint, or exposure to asbestos or mercury from mining or industrial use.
Epiglottitis
Epiglottitis—coded clinically as J05.10 across Lungs & Asthma guidelines—combines high-resolution chest imaging in Epiglottitis (J05.10: when indicated) with structured follow-up of Resting Pulse Oximetry in Epiglottitis (J05.10: (SpO2)) (96% – 100% (J05.10)).
Exercise and Physical Fitness
What are the basics of exercise and physical fitness? Exercise is anything that gets your body moving. Regular exercise is one of the best things you can do for your health. It has many benefits , including improving your overall health and fitness, and reducing your risk for many chronic (long-term) diseases. Every physical fitness routine is built on a few simple ideas. These include: Make exercise a habit, as your body adapts to the type of activity you do most often. Regular practice will help you improve. Build up your activity level slowly to help you continue to get stronger, faster, or more flexible without pushing too hard all at once.
Flu
What is the flu? The flu, also called influenza, is a respiratory infection caused by viruses. Each year, millions of Americans get sick with the flu. Sometimes it causes mild illness. But it can also be serious or even deadly, especially for people over 65, newborn babies, and people with certain chronic illnesses. What causes the flu? The flu is caused by flu viruses that spread from person to person. When someone with the flu coughs, sneezes, or talks, they spray tiny droplets. These droplets can land in the mouths or noses of people who are nearby.
Flu Shot
What is the flu? The flu (influenza) is a respiratory infection. It is caused by influenza viruses that infect your nose, throat, and lungs. These viruses can spread from person to person. Most people with the flu get better on their own, without medical care. But for some people, the flu is serious. It can cause complications and sometimes even death. People who are 65 and older, under age 5, pregnant, or have certain health conditions are at higher risk of flu complications. Getting vaccinated against the flu each year is best way to lower your risk of the flu and its complications.
Hemothorax
Cataloged under federal diagnostic code J94.2 in Lungs & Asthma, Hemothorax requires FeNO/eosinophil Type-2 inflammation in Hemothorax (J94.2: phenotyping) so specialists can calibrate treatment intensity against Blood Eosinophil Count [Hemothorax J94.2] benchmarks.

Inhalation Injuries
Inhalation injuries are acute injuries to your respiratory system and lungs. They can happen if you breathe in toxic substances, such as smoke (from fires), chemicals, particle pollution, and gases. Inhalation injuries can also be caused by extreme heat; these are a type of thermal injuries. Over half of deaths from fires are due to inhalation injuries. Symptoms of inhalation injuries can depend on what you breathed in. But they often include: Coughing and phlegm A scratchy throat Irritated sinuses Shortness of breath Chest pain or tightness Headaches Stinging eyes A runny nose If you have a chronic heart or lung problem, an inhalation injury can make it worse.
Interstitial Lung Diseases
Interstitial lung disease is the name for a large group of diseases that inflame or scar the lungs. The inflammation and scarring make it hard to get enough oxygen. The scarring is called pulmonary fibrosis . Breathing in dust or other particles in the air is responsible for some types of interstitial lung diseases. Specific types include: Black lung disease among coal miners, from inhaling coal dust Farmer's lung, from inhaling farm dust Asbestosis, from inhaling asbestos fibers Siderosis, from inhaling iron from mines or welding fumes Silicosis, from inhaling silica dust Other causes include autoimmune diseases or occupational exposures to molds, gases, or fumes.
Interstitial pulmonary disease
Within Asthma, COPD & Respiratory Disease practice, Interstitial pulmonary disease (ICD-10 J84.9) is stratified through lung diffusion capacity in Interstitial pulmonary disease (J84.9: (DLCO)), pairing targeted symptom control with longitudinal Blood Eosinophil Count [Interstitial pulmonary disease J84.9] surveillance.

Legionnaires' Disease
What is Legionnaires' Disease? Legionnaires' disease is a serious type of pneumonia caused by Legionella bacteria . The disease got its name when a group of people at an American Legion convention became ill with this type of pneumonia. Legionella is found naturally in freshwater, such as lakes and rivers. It can also be found in soil. But people usually only get sick from it when if it grows and spreads in man-made water systems. These systems can include hot tubs, fountains, and the plumbing systems of large buildings, such as hotels or nursing homes. Legionella can also cause Pontiac fever. This is a milder, flu-like illness that doesn't infect your lungs.
Lung Transplantation
A lung transplant removes a person's diseased lung and replaces it with a healthy one. The healthy lung comes from a donor who has died. Some people get one lung during a transplant. Other people get two. Lung transplants are used for people who are likely to die from lung disease within 1 to 2 years. Their conditions are so severe that other treatments, such as medicines or breathing devices, no longer work.
Lymphangioleiomyomatosis
Lymphangioleiomyomatosis is an ICD-10-CM indexed diagnosis (J84.81) within Asthma, COPD & Respiratory Disease. Clinical evaluation centers on vaccination review [Lymphangioleiomyomatosis J84.81] alongside serial Resting Pulse Oximetry in Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (J84.81: (SpO2)) tracking (96% – 100% (J84.81)) to guide individualized care.

Mesothelioma
The tissue that lines your lungs, stomach, heart, and other organs is called mesothelium. Mesothelioma, also known as malignant mesothelioma, is cancer of that tissue. It usually starts in the lungs, but can also start in the abdomen or other organs. Malignant mesothelioma is rare but serious. Most people who get it have worked or lived in places where they inhaled or swallowed asbestos particles. After being exposed to asbestos, it usually takes a long time for the disease to form.
