interstitial lung disease Flashcards
causes upper zone fibrosis
CHARTS // coal workers // hypersensitivity (EEA) // ank spondy // radioation // TB // silicosis + sarcoid
causes lower zone fibrosis
Idiopathic // SLE // drug induced // asbestosis
common drugs causing fibrosis
amiodarone // bleomycin // methotrexate // nitrofurantoin // dopamine agonists
who gets IPF
men 50-70
features IPF
exertional SOB // bibasal fine end insp crepitations // dry cough // clubbing
spirometry IPF
FEV1 normal // FVC decreased // FEV1/FEV1 increased
gas exchange IPF
reduced transfer factor
imaging IPF
CXR = ground glass or honeycombing // CT = gold standard
what antibodies may be seen in IPF
ANA or RF
mx IPF
rehab // O2 + transplant // poor prognosis 3-4 years
how long does coal workers pneumoconiosis take to develop
15-20 years
what is simple coal workers pneumoconiosis
most common + asymptomatic // may increase risk of COPD // can progress
staging simple coal workers pneumoconiosis
cat 1 = some opacity but normal lung markings // cat 2 = large opacities + normal markings // cat 3 + large opacities + abnormal lung markings
what is progressive massive fibrosis coal workers
round fibrotic masses in upper lobes // SOB on exertion + cough
invx massive fibrosis coal workers
CXR = upper zine fibrosis // spirometry = mixed obstructive + restrictive eg normal or reduced FEV1 and reduced FVC
what causes silicosis
fibrosis from inhaled silica eg mining, slate, foundy, pottery
