Q

ILD lung damage

A
  • irreversibly enlarged, damaged bronchioles and distorted alveoli
  • honey combing (clustered cycstic air spaces)
  • fibrosis between alveoli decreases gas exchange, reducing oxygen transfer

Q

Pathophys of ILD

A

alveolar epithelium damage –> type 2 epithelial cells proliferate (to repair damage) –> repair leads to fibrosis and scarring –> lung stiffens, ability to transport O2 diminished –> hypoxemia
