Respiratory System (J00-J99)
- Bronchial asthma
- Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
- Interstitial lung disease
- Pulmonary emphysema – condition in which there is increased air in the lungs. However, the gas exchange area is decreased. The reason for this is a destruction of the parenchyma (lung tissue).
- Pulmonary fibrosis – connective tissue remodeling of the lungs, which leads to the destruction of the lung structure.
Certain conditions originating in the perinatal period (P00-P96).
- Persistent pulmonary arterial hypertension of the newborn.
Blood, hematopoietic organs – immune system (D50-D90).
- Sarcoidosis (synonyms: Boeck’s disease; Schaumann-Besnier’s disease) – systemic disease of connective tissue with granuloma formation (skin, lungs, and lymph nodes).
- Sickle cell anemia (med.: Drepanocytosis; also sickle cell anemia, sickle cell anemia) – genetic disease with autosomal recessive inheritance, which affects the erythrocytes (red blood cells); it belongs to the group of hemoglobinopathies (disorders of hemoglobin; formation of an irregular hemoglobin, the so-called sickle cell hemoglobin, HbS).
Endocrine, nutritional, and metabolic diseases (E00-E90).
- Glycogen storage diseases, unspecified.
- Gaucher disease – genetic disorder with autosomal recessive inheritance; lipid storage disease due to the defect of the enzyme beta-glucocerebrosidase, resulting in the storage of cerebrosides mainly in the spleen and medullary bones.
- Thyroid disease, unspecified
Cardiovascular system (I00-I99)
- Left heart disease, unspecified
- Pulmonary embolism-partial (partial) or complete obstruction of a pulmonary artery
- Chronic thromboembolism – chronic occlusion of pulmonary vessels by thrombi (blood clots).
- Familial pulmonary arterial hypertension
- Idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension – form of the disease whose cause is unknown.
- Mitral/aortic valve defect, unspecified.
- Pulmonary veno-occlusive disease (PVOD) and/or pulmonary capillary hemangiomatosis (PCH).
Infectious and parasitic diseases (A00-B99).
- Schistosomiasis – worm disease (tropical infectious disease) caused by trematodes (sucking worms) of the genus Schistosoma (couple flukes).
- HIV infection/AIDS
Musculoskeletal system and connective tissue (M00-M99).
- Collagenoses (group of connective tissue diseases caused by autoimmune processes) – systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), polymyositis (PM) or dermatomyositis (DM), Sjögren’s syndrome (Sj), scleroderma (SSc), and Sharp syndrome (“mixed connective tissue disease”, MCTD).
Liver, gallbladder, and bile ducts-pancreas (pancreas) (K70-K77; K80-K87).
- Portal hypertension (portal hypertension; portal hypertension) – elevation of blood pressure due to liver disease such as cirrhosis.
Neoplasms – tumor diseases (C00-D48).
- Bronchial carcinoma (lung cancer)
- Histiocytosis/Langerhans cell histiocytosis (abbreviation: LCH; formerly: histiocytosis X; Engl. histiocytosis X, langerhans-cell histiocytosis) – systemic disease with proliferation of Langerhans cells in various tissues (skeleton 80% of cases; skin 35%, pituitary gland (pituitary gland) 25%, lung and liver 15-20%); in rare cases, neurodegenerative signs may also occur; in 5-50 % of cases, diabetes insipidus (hormone deficiency-related disturbance in hydrogen metabolism, leading to extremely high urine excretion) occurs when the pituitary gland is affected; the disease occurs disseminated (“distributed over the whole body or certain regions of the body”) frequently in children between 1-15 years of age, less frequently in adults, here predominantly with an isolated pulmonary affection (lung affection); prevalence (disease frequency) approx. 1-2 per 100,000 inhabitants
- Lymphangiomatosis – rare disease state characterized by diffuse proliferation of lymphatic vessels. This can affect internal organs, bones, soft tissues, and the skin
- Myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs): chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), myelofibrosis, polycythaemia vera (PV), and essential thrombocythaemia (ET).
- Pulmonary capillary hemangiomatosis (PCH) – occurrence of numerous benign vascular tumors.
Psyche – Nervous System (F00-F99; G00-G99).
- Sleep apnea syndrome – sleep disorder associated with snoring and pauses in breathing.
Genitourinary system (kidneys, urinary tract – sex organs) (N00-N99).
- Chronic renal failure with hemodialysis (blood washing).
Injuries, poisoning, and other sequelae of external causes (S00-T98).
- Chronic altitude sickness
Further
- Compression of pulmonary vessels – by tumors, foreign bodies, parasites, etc.
- Condition following splenectomy (removal of spleen).
Medication
- Amphetamines
- Appetite suppressants, unspecified
- Drugs, unspecified
