COPD is an umbrella term used to describe Chronic Bronchitis and Emphysema which are both diseases that limit gas exchange at the alveoli in the lungs by limiting expiratory air flow.
Clinical diagnostics involve a thorough evaluation and physical exam of patient as well as their background including risk factors such as smoking or family history of COPD.
