In Asthma, the respiratory membrane thickness can increase due to airway inflammation and remodeling associated with the disease. This thickening occurs as a result of increased mucus production, edema, and the proliferation of smooth muscle and connective tissue in the airways. These changes can impair gas exchange, contributing to the characteristic symptoms of asthma, such as wheezing and shortness of breath.
