Taking into account all factors that can affect the condition of patients diagnosed with COPD and available treatments, doctors try to predict what might happen. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or a medical opinion about the prognosis of COPD lets you know the process and the likelihood of disease and thus provide information about the prospects for recovery. COPD and prognosis of life expectancy varies from patient to patient, because the rate at which the lungs were destroyed varies from patient to patient. Prognosis can be favorable if the COPD is diagnosed at an early stage.Prognosis of COPD to help you figure out the possible complications of COPD. Research reports inform us about survival rates and mortality rates for COPD. Pathophysiology of COPD is complex and not clearly identified. Several factors affect the prognosis and life expectancy of COPD. A patient diagnosed with COPD eventually died when the lungs stop working and the organs and tissues in the body is not getting enough oxygen.Lack of oxygen causes the dysfunction of the immune system and health complications due to severe infection. Treatment of COPD is usually designed so that it helps avoid complications such as pneumonia. This helps increase the life expectancy of patients and help improve the quality of life. After seeing the results of spirometry tests performed to examine the capacity of the lungs, the doctor can determine whether a patient suffering from COPD and how severe it is.Those suffering from alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (a type of protein that is present in the blood) tend to suffer from COPD as blood levels of low-antitrypsin deficiency affects lung function seriously. The 'alpha 1 antitrypsin' undo the effects of harmful proteins in the blood. Scarcity of blood antitrypsin is a disorder related genes that eventually lead to an imbalance of protein, lung damage and COPD. If a person is diagnosed with smoke 'alpha 1 antitrypsin deficiency', COPD reached the stage of more rapid progress Evere airflow, shortness of breath after just a few activities, complications such as respiratory failure or signs of right-sided heart failure was seen during this stage. FEV1 value is between 30% to 50%. FEV1 values ​​below 30% is considered as cases (stage 4) continuation of COPD.

In such cases, the prognosis of chronic obstructive disease may be the most profitable. Patients are expected to stop smoking, stick to a healthy diet, exercising regularly, and go for some relaxation techniques like yoga and meditation. All of this helps increase the life expectancy of patients diagnosed with COPD.
