Q

What can lead to the restriction seen in restrictive lung disease?

A
  • PARENCHYMAL: Alterations of the lung parenchyma

- EXTRA-PARENCHYMAL: Disorders of the pleura, chest wall, or neuromuscular apparatus surrounding the lungs

Q

What is ILD?

A

Inflammatory process involving all of the components of the alveolar wall that commonly result in the excess growth of CT with distortion of the lung architecture and dysfunction of gas exchange

Q

List the 3 structural components of ILD?

A

1) Parenchymal cells (type I and type II epithelial cells and endothelial cells)
2) Inflammatory cells (macrophages, lymphocytes, neutrophils)
3) CT elements (cells, fibers, ground substances)

Q

What is a type 1 epithelial cell?

A

Predominant structural cell that covers over 90% of the epithelium (thin, pancake like) that is very vulnerable to injury

Q

What is a type 2 epithelial cell?

A

Cuboidal cells interspersed between type-1 that makes surfactant to be stored in lamellar bodies and repopulates type 1 cells following injury

16
Q

What is the pathogenesis of ILD?

A

Injury to epithelial cells leads to the release of growth factors (TGF-Beta, PDGF, etc.) which recruits fibroblasts to play down collagen and form fibrosis

17
Q

What are the two forms of ILD with known etiology?

A

1) Granulomatous (berylliosis, hypersensitivity)

2) Non-granulomatous (asbestosos, coal, silica, drugs)

18
Q

What are the two forms of ILD with unknown etiology?

A

1) Granulomatous (sarcoidosis)

2) Nongranulomatous (IIP, etc.)

19
Q

The hypoxemia of ILD is mostly due to what?

A

V/Q mismatch (thickening of alveolar wall by CT fibers and cells as well as increased inflammation in lumen affects ventilation!)

20
Q

Describe the breathing of someone with restrictive lung disease.

A

Rapid, shallow breathing

21
Q

What are the hallmarks of ILD on PFTs?

A

Reduced TLC
Reduced Vital capacity
Reduced DLCO
*DOES NOT alter expiratory airflow

22
Q

What are the most common symptoms of ILD?

A

Dyspnea**
Cough
Chest pain
Hemoptysis

23
Q

What are the most common signs of ILD?

A 
Tachypnea
Crackles (velcro rales)
Digital clubbing
Cor-pulmonale (late)
Cyanosis (late)
24
Q

What is an early stage radiological feature in ILD?

A

alveolar filling phase –> ground glass

25
Q

What is a mid-stage radiological feature in ILD?

A

interstitial phase –> reticulation (lines crossing one another)

26
Q

What radiological finding of ILD suggests end-stage-lung disease?

A

Honeycomb lung

27
Q

True or false: smoking can cause ILD.

A

True! but it more commonly causes COPD

28
Q

How do you dianose ILD?

A 
History (genetic, environment, occupation, medical)
Physical
Imaging with comparison!
PFTs
BAL and Lung Biopsy
29
Q

What is BAL?

A

Broncho-Alveolar Lavage- send a bronchoscope into the alveolar space and suck out fluid (and cells that line the alveolar lumen: macrophages, lymphocytes, PMNs)

30
Q

What do you see in a BAL of sarcoidosis?

A

tons of lymphocytes

31
Q

What do you see in a BAL of idiopathic fibrosis?

A

tons of neutrophils

32
Q

List some diseases of the pleura.

A
  • Mesothelioma
  • Pleural effusion
  • Pneumothorax
33
Q

List some diseases of the chest wall.

A

-Kyphoscoliosis

34
Q

List some neuromuscular diseases.

A
  • Lou Gherig’s Disease

- Myesthenia gravis
