Pulmonary emphysema results from the destruction of the air sacs, or alveoli, of the lungs. Since these tiny structures cannot be directly visualized by physical examination, healthcare providers rely on the measurements from a series of tests to help them diagnose and evaluate the severity of this and other pulmonary conditions. These measurements include imaging tests of the lungs, pulmonary function testing (PFTs), and laboratory testing (blood tests).

At the present time, smoking is responsible for about three in four cases of COPD (75%), but that leaves one in four cases in which smoking is not involved. COPD can also be caused by exposure to wood smoke, va**ng, air pollution, fuel fumes, dust, and chemicals.

COPD can also develop as the result of the inherited disorder, alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (Alpha-1). This genetically acquired COPD is referred to as Alpha-1-related Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD).
