| Theoretically, can someone have one healthy lung and one asthmatic lung? Posted: 28 Jun 2022 06:50 PM PDT This is a completely hypothetical question with no real world applications, coming from spiraling about donating blood, then plasma, then organs. If someone with asthma had other underlying health conditions and needed a lung transplant, but only one, and got a healthy lung--- Would they then have one healthy lung and one lung with asthma? Where does asthma reside in the body? In the lungs themselves or is there a 'control center' somewhere, where the healthy transplanted lung would also 'get' asthma? If not, how would the lungs function in an asthma attack? Would they breathe differently? Can lungs breathe independently of each other? [link] [comments] |
