ILD Oct11 M2 Flashcards
Idiopathic interstitial pneumonias, some diseases
- Usual interstitial P
- Nonspecific interstitial P
- Acute interstitial P
- Cryptogenic organizing P
- Desquamative interstitial P
- Lymphocytic interstitial P
- Respiratory bronchiolotis interstitial lung disease (RBILD)
Why idiopathic interstitial pneumonias is a bad name (2)
- We know RBILD for ex is caused by cigarette smoking
- COP is in alveolar airspace and lumen or resp bronchioles
Clinical counterpart of usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP)
idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF)
pathological counterpart of nonspecific interstitial pneumonia (NSIP)
NSIP
pathological counterpart of acute interstitial pneumonia (AIP)
diffuse alveolar damage
pathological counterpart of cryptogenic organizing pneumonia (COP)
organizing pneumonia
idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) examples of symptoms
dyspnea, non productive cough, clubbing of fingers and toes
IPF CT findings
thickened linear lines, prominent along pleura. Holes in the lines
UIP macroscopic findings
honeycombing (wasp nest like spaces)
UIP location
peripheral, subpleural
what interstitium affected by UIP
parenchymal interstitium
Most important pathologic feature of fibrosis
something activates fibroblasts to produce collagen
UIP distribution and inflammation extent
patchy distribution (intra and interlobular severity) Mild interstitial inflammation
UIP progression of fibrosis and structural changes
biphasic fibrosis (on and off) Architectural remodelling (honeycombing)
how pleura and interlobular septa are affected in UIP
stay normal bc doesn’t affect non parenchymal IS
UIP what happens to alveolar wall and airspaces as it becomes more severe
alveolar septum IS thickened by lymphocytes and collagen.
airspaces contain macrophages
two phases of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and which was easier to treat
Alveolitis (interstitial pneumonitis)
Fibrosis
Alveolitis easier to treat
