Lungs are the organ to facilitate gas exchange. With emphysema the tissues of your lungs will be tampered with. Hence you are likely to have problems with gas exchange.

One response to “Why does a person with emphysema have problems with gas exchange?”
Emphysema means considerable dilatation of terminal parts of bronchi and alveoli. Due to this dilatation a gas exchange between blood and lung air is violated.
