24 Interstitial lung diseases Flashcards
Spepta parts
90% Type I pneumocytes
5-10% Type II pneumocytes
Capillary endothelial cells
Ground substance
Interstitial lung disease
Parenchymal disorders that involve the lung interstitium
- Infiltrative diseae
- Diffuse parenchymal lung diseease
- Restrictive lung disease- reduced total capacity 2/2 disease changes
can involve alveolar spaces, septa, and vessels
Types of interstitial lung diseases
Acute- *ARDS Chronic *Fibrosing (pneumoconioses *Granulomatous (sarcoidoses) *Idiopathic interstitial pneumonia (IIP)
Interstitial disease pathogenesis
1) alveolitis- damage to pneumoctes and endothelial
2) Leukocytes> cytokines causing fibrosis
3) fibrosis leads to decr. compliance and expansion
Factors that modulate fibrosis
Chronicity defense effectiveness injury extent BM damage Individual succeptability
Interstitial findings
Dry cough/dyspnea
Bibasalar crackles
bilateral reticulonodular infiltrates
cor polmonale
Pneumoconicoses
Non neoplastic lung diseeease caused by:
* mineral dust, organic and inorganic particulates/ fumes
account for 25% of interstitial lung disease5
Pneumoconicosis pathologic principles
- 1-5um particles dont get past respiratory bronchiole bifurcations
- Smaller reach alveoli and alveolar macs- are phagocytosed
- some are reactive/irritative in and of themselves
Fibrogenic pneumoconicoses
Asbestos
Silicosis
Coal Worker’s pneumconicosis
(berylliosis, thesaurosis-hairspray, etc)
Coal workers Pneumoconicosis
Anthracoticpigment- Coal mine, urban cneters, tobacco smoke
3 forms
-Anthrocosis- assymptomatic with pigment in interstitium and lymph
-Simple
-complicated
Anthrocosis
Asymptomatic with anthrocotic pigment in interstitum and lymph nodes
Simple CWP
- Fibrous opacities <1cm
- upper lobe distribution
- Deposits of coal dust next to respiratory bronchioles
Complicated CWP
- Opacities >1cm
- can have central necroses
- massive fibrosis/black lung
- cor pulmonale
- Caplan syndrome CWP with rheumatoid nodules
- No increase in TB or cancer
Silicosis
Most common occupational disease worldwide
* Quartz crystals engulfed by alveolar macs-> Cytokine induced fibrosis
Morphology
* Nodular opacities with concentric collagen rings *ROPY AND LAMELLAR COLLAGEN
*polarizable quartz particles (shine under light in microscope)
*“Egg shell” calcification in hilar lymph nodes
Complications
*cor pulmonale, Caplan syndrome
*CANCER
*TB
