Descriptor English: Pulmonary Alveolar Proteinosis
Descriptor Spanish: Proteinosis Alveolar Pulmonar
Descriptor proteinosis alveolar pulmonar
Scope note: Enfermedad de los ALVEOLOS PULMONARES rellenos, caracterizada por depósitos densos fosfolipoproteinaceos en los alveolos, tos y DISNEA. Con frecuencia esta enfermedad se relaciona con alteración, congénita o adquirida, del procesamiento de los SURFACTANTES PULMONARES en los macrófagos alveolares, un proceso dependiente del FACTOR ESTIMULANTE DE COLONIAS DE GRANULOCITOS Y MACRÓFAGOS.

Scope note: A PULMONARY ALVEOLI-filling disease, characterized by dense phospholipoproteinaceous deposits in the alveoli, cough, and DYSPNEA. This disease is often related to, congenital or acquired, impaired processing of PULMONARY SURFACTANTS by alveolar macrophages, a process dependent on GRANULOCYTE-MACROPHAGE COLONY-STIMULATING FACTOR.
