Altitude illness is a group of synergistic physiologic disturbances, each of which may occur alone but which more commonly occur together, with one dominating the clinical picture. Treated promptly, altitude illness is readily reversible with full recovery; procrastination may lead to death or disability. Descent should be the first thought in treatment and should not be delayed.
高原病是一组协同发生的生理紊乱，其中每种紊乱都可能单独出现，但更常见的是一起出现，其中一种在临床表现中占主导。如果及时治疗，高原病很容易逆转并完全康复；拖延可能导致死亡或残疾。治疗时首先应想到下山，且不应延迟。
