Hypoplasia and dysplasia of lung - what does this mean
Hypoplasia and dysplasia of the lung is a rare congenital condition in which the lung tissue is underdeveloped or malformed, resulting in impaired function. it can be caused by genetic mutations, environmental factors, or a combination of both. it often leads to respiratory complications and can lead to death if left untreated.
What happens during the disease - hypoplasia and dysplasia of lung
Hypoplasia and dysplasia of lung are developmental anomalies that occur when the alveolar sacs and alveoli of the lungs do not form properly during the prenatal period. this is caused by genetic abnormalities, environmental factors, or both, which cause the cells of the alveoli to divide and form improperly. this can lead to underdevelopment of the lungs, resulting in difficulty breathing and other respiratory complications.
