Q

What happens to diffusion capacity (ie. DLCO) in restrictive resp. diseases?

A

Diffusion capacity may be normal or decreased in restrictive respiratory disorders
ie. Abnormal lung parenchyma → DLCO < 80%

22
Q

What are some iatrogenic causes of ILD?

A
Many drugs can lead to the development of ILD:
Chemotherapy (bleomycin)
Antibiotics (nitrofurantoin)
NSAID’s (naproxen)
Cardiac (amiodarone)
Illicit (cocaine)
Immunosuppressants (methotrexate)
23
