History. • 1935, Hamman and Rich described “diffuse interstitial fibrosis of the lungs". It was rapidly progressive and all patients died within a few weeks or months. • Cases with chronic diffuse pulmonary fibrosis with a much slower progression- “Idiopathic. Pulmonary Fibrosis". • Based on pathological concept -in 1960s and.
13 Feb 2014 Abstract. The complex tasks of making a confident diagnosis of a specific form of interstitial lung disease (ILD) and formulating a patient-centered, personalized management plan in an attempt to achieve remission or stabilization of the disease process can pose formidable challenges to clinicians.
Diffuse interstitial lung disease (DILD) is a category comprising a series of entities with similar clinical, radiologic, and lung function presentations, in which the principal pathological alterations affect the interstitial alveolar structures. The term DILD does not, in fact, properly describe the underlying pathogenetic mechanism.
Interstitial lung disease is a term that broadly describes a diverse collection of more than 200 lung disorders. These diseases are classified together because they all affect the tissue and space around the alveoli (air sacs), called the inter- stitium. Depending on the specific disease, other compartments of the lung, including
There is no pretending that interstitial lung diseases (ILD) are easy to understand, even for senior doctors. To understand these conditions more easily, it helps to know about, the “interstitium"; the part of the lung which is affected. The interstitium is the tissue through which oxygen from the lung's tiny air sacs. (the alveoli)
The field of interstitial lung disease (ILD) has undergone significant evolution in recent years, with an increasing incidence and more complex, ever expanding disease classification. In their most severe forms, these diseases lead to progressive loss of lung function, respiratory failure and eventually death. Despite notable
9 May 2015 How are they assessed? Although dyspnoea is typical, a high index of clinical sus- picion is necessary to facilitate early diagnosis as patients often present with non-specific signs and symptoms. In some cases interstitial lung disease may only be sus- pected after an incidental finding on a chest radiograph
INTRODUCTION. 1.1 An overview of the ILD guideline. Since the publication of the first BTS guidelines for diffuse lung disease nearly 10years ago,1 the specialty has seen considerable change. The early discussions of the Guideline Group centred upon whether the revised document might consist of the. 1999 document
