A: Enhanced Alveolar Capillary Permeability – Understanding Its Impact on Respiratory Health Introduction
Alveolar capillary permeability plays a pivotal role in respiratory physiology, influencing how oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged between the lungs and bloodstream. When this permeability is altered—particularly increased—conditions such as pulmonary edema, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), and various inflammatory lung diseases can develop. This article explores the concept of enhanced alveolar capillary permeability, its causes, mechanisms, clinical implications, and emerging treatment strategies. --- ### What Is Alveolar Capillary Permeability?
