restricitive interstital lung disease Flashcards
what does restrictive interstitall lung disease lead to
diffusion impairment
what makes up the interstitial space
the connective tissue space around the airways and vessels
what is sarcoidosis
a multisystem granulomatous disorder of unknown atepoigy
who does saecoidosis effect - incidence
young adults
females more than males
4/100000
what organs are effected in sarcodisis
lymph node - 100%
lung - 90%
spleen - 75%
live -70%
what is the prensentation of sarcoidosis
often sumptomatic
bilateral hilar lympjadenopathy
SOB
cough
abnormal CXR
what is the treatment of sacodisis
most resolve after 2 years
or if needed Corticosteriods
what does interstitial lung disease do
widens the space between the basement membrane of the alveolar epithelia and the interstitial capillary
what does restrictive interstitial lung disease do
reduce lung compliance and stiffens lungs
what happens when the lungs become stiffened
Low FEV1 and low FVC but FEV1/FVC remains the same
reduce gas transfer
what is the presentation of diffuse lung disease
SOB
respiratory failure - type 1
heart failure
what does a chest x-ray of a patient with interstitial lung disease look like
the lungs are shortened in the chest
what are the two types of diffuse interstitial lung injury
acute
chronic
what can the acute interstitial lung injury lead to
chronic interstitial lung disease
diffuse alveolar damage
DAD
what are the causes of DAD (diffuse alveolar damage)
major trauma
chemical/toxic inhalation
drugs
infection
idiopathic
what is the pathology of DAD
exudate creates interstitial inflammation that leads to interstitial fibrosis
what is the outcome of chronic response intertidal lung injury
fibrosis or end stage honeycomb lung
what is sarcoidosis an example of
chronic interstitial lung injury
