Chronic respiratory disease
Chronic respiratory diseases (CRDs) are a group of diseases that affect the airways and other structures of the lung. They can significantly impact your quality of life, often requiring long-term management and care.
Unlike acute respiratory illnesses, which develop suddenly and resolve quite quickly, chronic respiratory diseases develop gradually but may get worse over time. Some of the most common types of CRDs include Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), asthma, lung cancer, and pulmonary fibrosis.
