Neuroendocrine Hyperplasia is a rare lung disease characterized by the proliferation of neuroendocrine cells in the lungs. It is often associated with Interstitial Lung Disease and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD).

Symptoms

The symptoms of Neuroendocrine Hyperplasia can vary greatly from person to person. Some common symptoms include:

• Shortness of breath
• Cough
• Fatigue
• Weight loss

Causes

The exact cause of Neuroendocrine Hyperplasia is unknown. However, it is believed to be associated with certain genetic mutations and environmental factors.

Diagnosis

Diagnosis of Neuroendocrine Hyperplasia is often challenging due to its rarity and non-specific symptoms. It is usually diagnosed through a combination of medical history, physical examination, and various diagnostic tests such as Pulmonary Function Test and High Resolution Computed Tomography (HRCT).

Treatment

Treatment for Neuroendocrine Hyperplasia is primarily supportive and aims to manage symptoms and improve quality of life. This may include oxygen therapy, pulmonary rehabilitation, and medication to manage symptoms.

Prognosis

The prognosis for individuals with Neuroendocrine Hyperplasia can vary greatly depending on the severity of the disease and the individual's overall health.
