INTERSTITIAL LUNG DISEASE SPEAKER-DR.SAGAR DNB MED.RES
INTRODUCTION • ILDs represent a large number of conditions that involve the parenchyma of the lung—the alveoli, the alveolar epithelium, the capillary endothelium, and the spaces between these structures, as well as the perivascular and lymphatic tissues. • Also called Diffuse Parenchymal Lung Disease
INTRODUCTION • Heterogeneous group of disorders have similar clinical, roentgenographic, physiologic, or pathologic manifestations. • Often associated with considerable morbidity and mortality, and there is little consensus regarding the best management of most of them.
CLASSIFICATION One useful approach to classification is to separate the ILDs into two groups based on the major underlying histopathology: those associated with predominant inflammation and fibrosis, and those with a predominantly granulomatous reaction in interstitial or vascular areas Each of these groups can be further subdivided according to whether the cause is known or unknown. For each ILD there may be an acute phase, and there is usually a chronic one as well. Rarely, some are recurrent, with intervals of subclinical disease.
Major Categories of Alveolar and Interstitial Inflammatory Lung Disease • ON LUNG RESPONSE- • Alveolitis, Interstitial Inflammation, and Fibrosis • Granulomatous
Alveolitis, Interstitial Inflammation, and Fibrosis • Known Cause- • Asbestos • Fumes, gases • Drugs (antibiotics, amiodarone, gold) and chemotherapy drugs • Radiation • Aspiration pneumonia • Residual of adult respiratory distress syndrome
UNKNOWN CAUSES • Idiopathic interstitial pneumonias (IIP)- • Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (usual interstitial pneumonia) (UIP) • Desquamative interstitial pneumonia(DIP) • Respiratory bronchiolitis-associated interstitial lung disease (RB-ILD) • Acute interstitial pneumonia (diffuse alveolar damage) • Cryptogenic organizing pneumonia (bronchiolitisobliterans with organizing pneumonia) (COD) • Nonspecific interstitial pneumonia • Connective tissue diseases- • Systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosingspondylitis, systemic sclerosis, Sjögren's syndrome, polymyositis-dermatomyositis • Pulmonary hemorrhage syndromes • Goodpasture's syndrome, idiopathic pulmonary hemosiderosis, isolated pulmonary capillaritis
CONT… • Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis • Lymphocytic infiltrative disorders (lymphocytic interstitial pneumonitis associated with connective tissue disease) • Eosinophilic pneumonias • Lymphangioleiomyomatosis(LAM) • Amyloidosis • Inherited diseases- • Tuberous sclerosis, neurofibromatosis, Niemann-Pick disease, Gaucher's disease, Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome • Gastrointestinal or liver diseases -(Crohn's disease, primary biliary cirrhosis, chronic active hepatitis, ulcerative colitis) • Graft-vs.-host disease- (bone marrow transplantation; solid organ transplantation)
Granulomatous • Known Cause- • Hypersensitivity pneumonitis (organic dusts) • Inorganic dusts: beryllium, silica
Unknown Cause(GRANULOMATOUS) • Sarcoidosis • Langerhans' cell granulomatosis (eosinophilicgranuloma of the lung) • Granulomatousvasculitides-- • Wegener's granulomatosis, allergic granulomatosis of Churg-Strauss • Bronchocentricgranulomatosis • Lymphomatoidgranulomatosis
Incident Cases of ILD (Incidence of IPF=26-31 per 100,000)
What is the Pulmonary Interstitium? • Interstitial compartment is the portion of the lung sandwiched between the epithelial and endothelial basement membrane • Expansion of the interstitial compartment by inflammation with or without fibrosis • Necrosis • Hyperplasia • Collapse of basement membrane • Inflammatory cells
Clinical Assessment • History • Physical Exam • Chest Imaging • Pulmonary Function Testing • At Rest • Exercise • Serologic Studies • Tissue examination

PRESENTATION • Dyspnea is a common and prominent complaint in patients with ILD. • Non-Productive Cough • Fatigue,Weight loss • Symptoms associated with other diseases • Clubbing ,cyanosis
EXAMINATION • Late inspiratory ‘Velcro’ crackles unaltered by coughing at lung bases are heard. • Features of RV failure • Loud P2 present.
Physical Findings • Resting Tachypnea • Shallow breathing • Dry crackles • Digital clubbing • Pulmonary HTN • Non-pulmonary findings
ILD: Evaluation • Radiographic • CXR • HRCT • Physiologic testing • PFT • Exercise test • Lung Sampling • BAL • Lung biopsy: (TBBx, Surgical)
CXR CLUES Interstitial Infiltrates • Nodular • Linear or reticular • Mixed • Honeycomb • Cysts and traction bronchiectasis • GGO
CXR CLUES Alveolar Filling • Air-bronchograms • Acinar rosettes • Diffuse consolidation • Nodule like, poor boarder definition • Silhouetting: obliteration of normal structures

CXR: LlMITATIONS • CXR is normal: • in 10 to 15 % of symptomatic patients with proven infiltrative lung disease • 30% of those with bronchiectasis • ~ 60 % of patients with emphysema • CXR has a sensitivity of 80% and a specificity of 82% percent for detection of DPLD • CXR can provide a confident diagnosis in ~ 23 % of cases
HRCT • 2 essential technical factors: • Narrow collimation • Use of a high spatial frequency reconstruction algorithm • Does not use contrast • Prone and supine • Inspiratory and expiratory
Characteristic HRCT findings • Bibasilar interstitial and intralobular reticular opacities • Interlobular septal thickening • Subpleural honeycomb changes • Traction bronchiectasis in the lower lobes. • There may also be a variable amount of ground-glass opacity.
HRCT Conventional Supine Prone
The terminal bronchiole in the center divides into respiratory bronchioles with acini that contain alveoli. Lymphatics and veins run within the interlobular septa Centrilobular area in blue (left) and perilymphatic area in yellow (right)
HRCT Clues • What is the dominant HR-pattern: • Reticular • Nodular • High attenuation (ground-glass, consolidation) • Low attenuation (emphysema, cystic) • Where is it located within the secondary lobule (centrilobular, perilymphatic or random) • Is there an upper versus lower zone? • Central versus peripheral predominance • Are there additional findings (pleural involvement, lymphadenopathy, traction bronchiectasis)
