That is the good question and you probably know the answer. In case of the COPD patient you have less perfusion of the oxygen. The red blood cell production is stimulated by the low concentration of the oxygen.

COPD patients usually don't have a positive nitrogen balance, as the disease is more often associated with a general exhaustion of the body, and as such a net loss of total body protein. If a COPD patient does have a positive nitrogen balance, it simply means that the patient has eaten more protein than what has been broken down and excreted. This would most likely be associated with a positive net caloric intake and a gain of muscle weight.

Yes, "singular" can be used in the context of COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) when referring to a specific case or instance of the disease. For example, one might say, "The singular impact of COPD on a patient's life can be profound." However, since COPD is generally discussed in a broader context due to its prevalence and multiple cases, it is more common to refer to it in the plural sense when discussing its overall impact on populations.
