Asthma, allergy and lung diseases – effective treatment at CPH Privathospital

The lungs are essential for life – without air, no life. Lung health is therefore crucial, and in Denmark asthma and COPD are among the most common lung diseases. Did you know that Danish women have the highest COPD mortality rate in the entire EU? This underscores how important it is to detect and treat lung diseases as early as possible.

Lung diseases: Asthma and COPD

Asthma and allergy are often closely linked. Many experience that allergy can both trigger and worsen asthma, eczema and urticaria. At CPH Privathospital our specialists in asthma, allergy and lung diseases are ready to help you. We offer a rapid consultation, so you can quickly receive the right treatment and improve your quality of life.

How do the lungs work?

The lungs are a flexible network of fibres that can expand by 4–5 litres when you breathe deeply. With over 500 million alveoli, the lungs work for you by:

• Transporting oxygen from inhaled air into the blood and removing the waste product carbon dioxide from the blood into exhaled air.
• Supporting the smallest airways so they do not collapse during respiration.

Respiration must be unobstructed for the body to function optimally. Severe obesity, asthma, COPD and even gastric acid reflux can affect lung function and reduce quality of life.
