Primary
o Tuberculosis
o Bronchial asthma
o Lung cancer
Secondary
o Associated with CVDs
o Obesity (and diabetes)
o AIDS
o Sickle cell disease
o Scoliosis
Acute conditions
o Aspiration of enteral feeding liquids (and
solids)
o Airway obstruction from foods (esp.
children)
o Anaphylaxis
Chronic conditions
o Cystic fibrosis (mutation in CFTR gene
that codes for ABC transporter, affecting
chloride channels)
o Emphysema (results from chronic
smoking; alpha-1 antitrypsin is affected
methionine is oxidized > elastase is
released)
Parameters Used to Assess Pulmonary Status
Imaging procedures
Notes:
Malnutrition
Adversely affect:
o Lung structure and function (protein
molecule synthesis transcription and
translation, needs amino acids)
o Respiratory muscle strength and
endurance
o Immune defense mechanisms
(antibodies)
o Control of breathing
Decline in:
o Respiratory muscle mass (which will
affect:)
o Strength
o Endurance
o Efficiency
Impact of Malnutrition
Additional limitations
o Difficulty of preparing food
o Lack of financial resources
o Impaired feeding skills
o Altered metabolism
