14-September-2008 18:02:49 - Bronchial hyperresponsiveness Bronchial hyperresponsiveness or other combinations with airway or hyperreactivity is a state characterised by easily triggered bronchospasm contraction of the bronchioles or small airways. Bronchial hyperresponsiveness can be assessed with a bronchial challenge test. This most often uses products like metacholine or histamine. These chemicals trigger bronchospasm in normal individuals as well, but people with bronchial hyperresponsiveness have a lower threshold. Bronchial hyperresponsiveness is a hallmark of asthma but also occurs frequently in people suffering from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease COPD.1 In the Lung Heart Study, bronchial hyperresponsiveness was present in approximately two-thirds of patients with non-severe COPD, and this predicted lung function decline independently of other factors.2 In asthma it tends to be reversible with bronchodilator therapy, while this is not the case in COPD.
