COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) |
Just Something I Wanted to Know10/13/2009 |
If a person with Emphysema under went the lung reduction surgery has anyone tried to follow it with a short treatment with growth hormones 3 to 6 months would it possibly add anything to the Lung`s as you see I`m not a Dr. just a man still thinking any help would be very thankful for
That is an interesting idea. However, since growth hormones do not have any effect on the lungs, they would be unlikely to help after lung volume reduction surgery.
