Asthma

Asthma is a disorder of the passage of air through the respiratory tract, particularly in small-calibre bronchial tubes. It causes difficulty breathing and the patient feels like they are drowning and must increase their effort in an attempt to breathe better.

Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the airways that results in variable airflow obstruction. It often changes throughout the day (it can get worse at night) and improves with treatment and then reappears later.

The illness is basically caused by an inflammatory mechanism.

Skin allergy tests

Skin tests are the technique most commonly used to begin diagnosing an allergy. Following a meticulous clinical history, it is decided which skin tests may be useful, depending on the case.

Skin allergy tests serve to find out if a patient is "sensitised" to a particular substance, if their body recognises the substance and reacts when it comes into contact with it. These tests DO NOT DIAGNOSE an allergy. They are only positive if accompanied by one of the symptoms compatible with an allergy, helping a diagnosis to be reached.

Simple spirometry

Simple spirometry is a test to study lung function, which lets us know the amount of air patients can move and how well they do it.

Hereditary angioedema

Hereditary angioedema is a rare genetic disease that affects approximately one in 50,000 people. It is usually an inherited disorder and is characterised by the accumulation of fluids outside the blood vessels, causing swelling of the face, hands, feet, extremities, genitals, gastrointestinal tract or the upper respiratory tract. Because it is a low-prevalence disease with symptoms similar to those of other diseases and is therefore difficult to diagnose, it is important for there to be reference centres so that suspected and diagnosed cases can be centralised.
