Discussion on Airway Remodeling in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Based on the Theory of Phlegm and Blood Stasis
The pathological basis of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is mainly airway remodeling.Based on the theory of phlegm and blood stasis,this paper believes that chronic lung deficiency,phlegm and blood stasis blocking the airway are the basic pathogenesis of airway remodeling in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.Now,from the relevant theory of phlegm and blood stasis in traditional Chinese medicine,COPD airway remodeling is described from the aspects of etiology,path-ogenesis and treatment.
