Pathophysiology of COPD COPD is a complex syndrome comprised of airway inflammation, mucociliary dysfunction and consequent airway structural changes.1 Airway inflammation COPD is characterized by chronic inflammation of the airways, lung tissue and pulmonary blood vessels as a result of exposure to inhaled irritants such as tobacco smoke. The inhaled irritants cause inflammatory cells such as neutrophils, CD8+ T-lymphocytes, B cells and macrophages to accumulate.2 When activated, these cells initiate an inflammatory cascade that triggers the release of inflammatory mediators such as tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), interferon gamma (IFN-γ), matrix-metalloproteinases (MMP-6, MMP-9), C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukins
