[External respiratory function in patients with Crohn's disease]
Abstract:
This article presents the results of a study of respiratory function (SRF) in 56 patients with Crohn's disease (CD) who were hospitalized in the Department of intestine pathology in Central research institute of gastroenterology. SRF was determined by spirography and registration of the curve flow--volume forced exhale ("Eton-1, RF). Violations of pulmonary function in CD occurred in 44.6% of patients, which exceeded the rate of violations in the control group (60 healthy individuals) is about 5 times (p < 0.001). Identified breaches were presented in most cases with obstructive pathology of bronchial tubes, much less restrictive observed (8.0%) and mixed (16.0%), disorders of ventilation. The highest frequency of pulmonary function was observed during prolonged (more than 10 years) history of illness (81.2%) and in patients with ileocolitis (64.7%).

Inflammatory Bowel Disease II: Crohn's Disease
Inflammatory bowel disease, commonly known as IBD, refers to a collection of disorders that lead to persistent inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. The two types of IBD are ulcerative colitis, which impacts the colon, and Crohn's disease, which can involve any part of the gastrointestinal segment.

Symptoms of COPD can be classified as primary or systemic. Primary symptoms relate to reduced airflow, while systemic or extrapulmonary symptoms relate to COPD's broader impact on the body.
