What Is Interstitial Lung Disease? | Joyce Lee, MD, Pulmonary disease | UCHealth

health No Comments »

Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is an umbrella term covering over 100 distinct conditions, and is often used interchangeably with the term pulmonary fibrosis. Dr. Lee covers the main types, causes and risk factors.

Ninja Nerds!
Professor Zach Murphy will be presenting on Restrictive Lung Disease. We will be going into detail on the following main objectives:

1. Definition and Classification of Restrictive Lung Disease
– Gain insights into what constitutes restrictive lung disease and how it varies from obstructive lung conditions.
– Acquaint yourself with the classifications based on etiology, such as intrinsic lung diseases (interstitial lung disease, fibrosis) and extrinsic factors (pleural diseases, neuromuscular disorders).

2. Pathophysiology and Etiologies
– Explore the underlying mechanisms contributing to restrictive lung disease, ranging from inflammation and fibrosis to pleural effusions and chest wall deformities.
– Understand the altered lung mechanics and its relationship to the various causative factors.

3. Clinical Manifestations and Presentation
– Learn to recognize the signs and symptoms commonly associated with restrictive lung disease, such as dyspnea, reduced exercise tolerance, and dry cough.
– Identify potential indicators of severity, such as hypoxia, tachypnea, and the use of accessory respiratory muscles.

4. Diagnostic Criteria and Tools
– Understand the roles and interpretations of various diagnostic tests, including pulmonary function tests (PFTs), high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT), and lung biopsy.
– Familiarize yourself with the latest guidelines for diagnosing restrictive lung disease as outlined by professional bodies like the American Thoracic Society.

5. Initial Management Strategies
– Discuss evidence-based approaches for initial symptom management, such as oxygen supplementation and corticosteroids.
– Learn about the importance of supportive therapies, including physiotherapy and pulmonary rehabilitation, in enhancing quality of life.

6. Definitive Management Approaches
– Examine the various treatment options available, ranging from pharmacological interventions like antifibrotic agents to surgical procedures like lung transplantation.
– Evaluate the risks and benefits of each approach, grounded in the latest research and guidelines.

7. Complications and Prognosis
– Gain an understanding of the potential complications arising from untreated or improperly managed restrictive lung disease, such as respiratory failure and pulmonary hypertension.
– Discuss the prognostic indicators and how variables like age, lung function, and comorbidities may influence outcomes.

Restrictive lung disease – causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, pathology

What is restrictive lung disease? It occur when lung tissue becomes fibrotic and firm which reduces the total lung capacity.

Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD) – Classification, pathophysiology, signs and symptoms

Where do I get my information from: http://armandoh.org/resource

“Interstitial lung disease also known as diffuse parenchymal lung diseases (DPLDs) are a group of disorders based on similar clinical, radiographic, physiologic, and pathologic changes.

Present primarily with shortness of breath and a non productive cough usually chronic over weeks to months without response to initial treatment of puffers. If there is clinical suspicion of ILD a full pulmonary function test should be done. Characteristic changes of ILD include: reduced total lung capacity (TLC) and DLCO.

The diffuse parenchymal lung diseases are divided into those that are associated with known causes or unknown causes and other weird and wonderful rare causes.”
