restrictive lung disease Flashcards
definition of restrictive lung disease
characterized by a reduction in lung volume, alteration in lung parenchyma, and a disease of pleural, chest wall, and neuromuscular status
what values are reduced in restrictive lung disease
total lung capacity
vital capacity
resting lung volume
what two groups can restrictive lung disease be divided into
lung parenchyma (intrinsic) extraparenchyma (extrinsic)
what does intrinsic lung parenchyma result in?
inflammation or scarring of lung tissue
filling of air spaces with exudates and debris
what does extraparenchyma restrictive lung disease result in?
diseases of the chest wall, pleura and respiratory muscles
what condition causes extrinsic restrictive lung disease with external pressure?
obesity
types of intrinsic lung disease
sarcoidosis
indiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF)
interstitial lung disease
ARDS, IRDS
causes of interstitial lung disease
asbestosis, silicosis, pneumoconiosis
medication, drug, radiation
hypersensitivity pneumonitis
rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, scleroderma
causes of extrinsic restrictive lung disease
myasthenia gravis
guillain barre
kyphosis and chest wall deformities
dz that restricts lower thoracic or abdomen volume (obesity, hernia,ascities)
what values are reduced in restrictive lung disease?
TLC or VC
what values are preserved in restrictive lung disease
airflow
resting lung volume
(measured by functional residual capacity (FRC))
what muscles have to contract in order for the lungs to inflate?
respiratory muscles
diaphragm
external costal
is inflation or deflation passive?
deflation
volume of air in the lungs when respiratory muscles are fully relaxed and no airflow is present
FRC (functional residual capacity)
what balances inward elastic recoil of lungs and outward elastic recoil of the chest wall?
FRC
what is a multi-system inflammatory disease of unknown etiology (especially lungs, lymph nodes, and skin) that causes intrinsic restrictive lung disease?
sarcoidosis
what manifests as non-necrotizing granulomas predominantly in the lungs and intrathoracic lymph nodes and causes an exaggerated immune response
sarcoidosis
what cells are part of the inflammatory immune process in sarcoidosis?
T cells-WBCs lymphocytes
which start the immune reaction, identify the illness, and share info with other immune cells
what do T cells cause?
an exaggerated immune response
who gets sarcoidosis commonly?
african americans
age onset of sarcoidosis
25-45
how is sarcoidosis in african americans different?
more severe and chronic
multiorgan inflammation of sarcoidosis presents on
lung (90%)
lymphadenopathy (33%)
skin (25%)
what percent of sarcoidosis is asymptomatic?
5%
non-specific symptoms of sarcoidosis?
fever weight loss fatigue arthraliga nagging cough
