We also see hyperplasia of the squamous lining, vasodilation of the underlying capillary bed, and edematous fluid in the subepithelial layers. This condition can occur with the obstructive lung diseases of emphysema and chronic bronchitis because (VE) is not evenly distributed to parts of the lungs and blood flow is affected by destruction of portions of the capillary bed. |
