Define Interstitial Lung Disease

***
Group of pathologically similar disease states that involve extensive alteration and disruption of ***distal lung parenchyma***
what 2 lung structures are affected in interstitial lung disease?
Parenchyma

Connective tissue
What is the clinical presentation of interstitial lung disease?

**
Primary complaint is dyspnea usually first with exertion then at rest

Many have a dry spasmodic cough

May hear “Velcro” rales – generally in inspiration

Later in course can see digital clubbing

Can have a normal CXR initially

Chest pain, wheeze and hemoptysis are unusual presenting complaints
if you hear a velcro sound in inspiration what should you be thinking
interstitial lung disease
Peribronchovascular sheaths
connective tissue surrounding the bronchi and the vascular bundles
Interlobular septae
tissue in between the secondary lobules
Causes of ILD ?

*** read this
Collagen Vascular Diseases

Drug induced

Occupational/enviormental ***
please give an overview of interstitial lung disease, giving the 4 steps

***
1) Epithelial basement cell membrane injury
2) Influx of inflammatory cells
3) Increased expression of fibroblasts
4) Accumulation of extra cellular matrix

Continuation of injury by cascade of pro-inflammatory cytokines and/or continued exposure to inciting drug or event
how do you get a diagnosis of interstitial lung disease?
BIOPSY of lung
what is the treatment for Talc lung disease (3)
Oxygen & avoidance of initiating factors

Steroids to reverse cellular inflammation and fibroblast proliferation
if you see a noncaseating granuloma in the lung what should you be thinking?

****
Sarcoidosis
Chronic multi-organ inflammatory disorder of unknown etiology
Tissue infiltration by monocytes and lymphocytes and noncaseating granulomas which mainly affect the lungs and lymphatics

this describes?
sarcoidosis
what are the possible outcomes of sarcoidosis?
1/3 will have spontaneous remission
1/3 will not progress
1/3 progress in organ dysfunction
what guides various biopsy techniques?

**
Location of lymph node involvement
what is lupus pernio?

what is it consistent with?
Lupus pernio – violaceous indurating skin lesion affective chiefly the nose and facial skin

consistent with Chronic Disease (sarcoidoisis)
inhalation and deposition of coal dust into the lungs causes what?
Pneumoconiosis
the following describes....

Small rounded opacities on CXR
Occur after normal dust particle clearing mechanisms are overwhelmed
Nodules are a collection of dust-laden macrophages around a dilated bronchiole
Involved with focal enlargement of local airspaces - emphysema
Simple Coal Workers Pneumoconiosis
what distinuguishes progressive massive fibrosis from simple coal worker pneumoconiosis?
Diagnosis of Progressive Massive Fibrosis made when one of the coal macules reaches 2cm or greater in size
if you are coughing up black stuff what do you have
Progressive Massive Fibrosis

or you are a crack smoker (I SMOKE ROCKS)
if you have exposure to silica (such as coal worker or power sander) what do you have an increased risk for?
TB
dude works in the boiler room of a shipyard. What is this uka gonna get?
Asbestosis
egg shell calcification of hilar nodes is associated with?
Silicosis
What are the 2 types of pneumoconiosis?

***
Coal Workers Pneumoconiosis

Progressive Massive Fibrosis (more likely to progress even after removal of exposure)
How do you define the etiology of interstitial lung disease?

***
Biopsy
