Measuring Bronchitis in Airway Diseases: Clinical Implementation and Application Airway Hyperresponsiveness in Asthma: Its Measurement and Clinical Significance

Airway inflammation is fundamental to the cause and persistence of asthma and other airway conditions. It contributes to symptoms, variable airflow limitation, airway hyperresponsiveness, and the structural changes (remodeling) associated with asthma. However, the presence and type of airway inflammation can be difficult to detect clinically, delaying the introduction of appropriate treatment. Cellular inflammation in the airway can be …
