Respiratory System (J00-J99)
- Bronchial asthma
- Bronchiectasis (synonym: bronchiectasis) – persistent irreversible saccular or cylindrical dilatation of the bronchi (medium-sized airways) that may be congenital or acquired; symptoms: chronic cough with “mouthful expectoration” (large-volume triple-layered sputum: foam, mucus, and pus), fatigue, weight loss, and decreased exercise capacity
- Chronic bronchitis
- Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
- Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis – connective tissue remodeling of the lungs leading to functional impairment.
- Pulmonary emphysema (irreversible hyperinflation of the smallest air-filled structures (alveoli, alveoli) of the lungs).
- Pleural nipples (thickening of the pleura (pleura), which can lead to a limitation of lung capacity)
- Pneumoconiosis (pneumoconiosis)
- Sarcoidosis – inflammatory systemic disease affecting mainly the lungs, lymph nodes and skin.
- Tracheal stenosis (narrowing of the trachea).
- Tuberculosis (consumption)
Blood, blood-forming organs – immune system (D50-D90).
- Anemia (anemia)
- Autoimmune disease with vasculitis (inflammation of blood vessels), unspecified
Endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases (E00-E90).
- Obesity (adiposity) – leads to chronic hypoventilation (restricted lung ventilation) and thus to chronic cor pulmonale
- Pickwick syndrome – syndrome with obesity (obesity), unclear sleep conditions, pulmonary hypertension, etc.
- Cystic Fibrosis (ZF) – genetic disease with autosomal recessive inheritance, characterized by the production of secretions in various organs to be tamed.
Cardiovascular system (I00-I99).
- Valvular heart disease (vitiation), unspecified.
- Cardiomyopathy – heart muscle disease leading to impaired cardiac function.
- Coronary artery disease (CAD) – disease of the coronary arteries.
- Myocardial infarction (heart attack)
- Pericarditis constrictiva – chronic pericarditis with shrinkage of the pericardium and consequent limitation of cardiac function.
- Primary pulmonary hypertension – pulmonary hypertension without apparent cause.
- Endangiitis obliterans – segmental vasculitis (vascular inflammation) of small and medium-sized arteries and veins predominantly of the lower extremity.
- Periarteritis nodosa – necrotizing vasculitis (vascular inflammation), which usually affects medium-sized vessels.
- Pulmonary hypertension – high blood pressure due to pulmonary (vascular) disease.
- Veno-occlusive disease, unspecified
- Condition following multiple pulmonary artery embolism – occlusion of one or more pulmonary vessels by a thrombus (blood clot), usually due to venous thrombosis
Liver, gallbladder, and bile ducts – pancreas (pancreas) (K70-K77; K80-K87).
- Cystic pancreatic fibrosis – connective tissue remodeling of the pancreas secondary to pulmonary afflictions.
Musculoskeletal system and connective tissue (M00-M99).
- Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA), formerly Wegener’s granulomatosis – necrotizing (tissue dying) vasculitis (vascular inflammation) of the small to medium-sized vessels (small-vessel vasculitides), which is associated with granuloma formation (nodule formation) in the upper respiratory tract (nose, sinuses, middle ear, oropharynx) as well as the lower respiratory tract (lungs)
- Kyphoscoliosis – simultaneous occurrence of a sideways shift with a backward curvature of the spine; can lead to chronic cor pulmonale via chronic hypoventilation (impaired lung ventilation)
- Bechterew’s disease – chronic inflammatory disease of the spine, which can lead to joint stiffness (ankylosis) of the affected joints.
- Scleroderma – group of autoimmune connective tissue diseases, which belongs to the collagenoses.
- Vascular collagen diseases, unspecified – cause occlusion of the pulmonary vascular bed.
Neoplasms – tumor diseases (C00-D48).
- Bronchus adenoma – benign neoplasm on one bronchus.
- Bronchial carcinoma (lung cancer)
- Lymphangiosis carcinomatosa – spread of a malignant tumor in the lymphatic vessels.
- Tumors of the mediastinum (mediastinal cavity).
- Tumors of the trachea – neoplasm of the trachea.
Psyche – nerve system (F00-F99; G00-G99).
- Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS; synonyms: Myatrophic Lateral Sclerosis or Motor Neuron Disease and Lou Gehrig’s Syndrome) – degenerative disease of the motor nervous system; progressive and irreversible damage or degeneration of nerve cells (neurons) occurs. The degeneration leads to increasing muscle weakness (paresis/paralysis), which is accompanied by muscle wasting (amyotrophy).
- Muscular dystrophy (muscle weakness), unspecified.
- Myasthenia – pathological muscle fatigability.
- Neuromuscular diseases – lead to chronic hypoventilation and thus chronic cor pulmonale.
Further
- Condition after lung (partial) resection (lung (partial) removal).
- Dysfunction of the thoracic wall – leads to chronic cor pulmonale via chronic hypoventilation.
