Obstructive and restrictive pulmonary diseases can be categorized based on pulmonary function tests. Obstructive diseases like emphysema and chronic bronchitis involve airflow limitation due to airway obstruction. Restrictive diseases like pulmonary fibrosis involve reduced lung expansion and capacity. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) encompasses chronic bronchitis and emphysema, both of which involve irreversible airway obstruction. Emphysema is defined as abnormal enlargement of airspaces distal to terminal bronchioles due to alveolar wall destruction. The main types are centriacinar and panacinar emphysema. Emphysema results from an imbalance between proteases and antiproteases degrading lung tissue in heavy smokers.
