Restrictive lung diseases Flashcards
Chest wall disorders that can cause restrictive lung disease
Polio
Obesity
Pleural disease
Kyphoscoliosis
Classic pulmonary function abnormalities in restrictive lung diseases
Decreases lung volumes
Decreased lung compliance
Decreased FEV1 and FVC
Normal to increased FEV1/FVC
General radiology finding in restrictive lung diseases
Bilateral lesions in the form of small nodules, irregular lines, or ground glass shadows
Restriction with normal DLCO
Extra-pulmonary cause
Restriction with increased DLCO
Pulmonary cause
Change in lung compliance curve in restrictive lung disease
Shifted down and to the right
Lung shows areas of contraction/scarring and formation of cystic spaces
Honeycomb lung
Clinicopathologic syndrome marked by progressive interstitial pulmonary fibrosis and respiratory failure. Has a usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP) histologic pattern
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
Lung disease caused by repetitive alveolar epithelial micro-injury and aberrant wound repair
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
Profibrotic mediators in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
TGF-beta and PDGF
Earliest microscopic lesions in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
Fibroblastic proliferation
Later microscopic lesion in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
Dense collagenous fibrosis with less cellular areas
Microscopy of lung shows cystic spaces lined by hyperplastic type II pneumocytes or bronchiolar epithelium
Honeycomb lung
Treatment for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
Immunosuppressives - slow disease
Steroids
Cyclophosphamide
Azathioprine
Targeted therapy for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
Tyrosine kinase inhibitor and TGF-beta antagonist
Only definitive therapy of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
Lung transplant
Diffuse interstitial lung disease, either idiopathic or with associated CT disease. Biopsies fail to show diagnostic features.
Non-specific interstitial pneumonia (NSIP)
Cellular pattern of non-specific interstitial pneumonia
Lymphocytes and few plasma cells
Uniform or patchy
Fibrosing pattern of non-specific interstitial pneumonia
Diffuse or patchy interstitial fibrotic lesions of roughly the same stage of development
Lung findings absent in non-specific interstitial pneumonia
Fibroblastic foci
Honeycombing
Hyaline membranes
Granulomas
Restrictive lung disease that develops in response to infection or inflammatory injury to the lungs. Effectively resolved with corticosteroid therapy.
Cryptogenic organizing pneumonia/bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia
CXR findings in cryptogenic organizing pneumonia
Localized opacities or bilateral interstitial infiltrates that may migrate over time
Microscopy of lung shows subpleural or peri-bronchial patchy areas of airspace consolidation, polypoid plugs of loose organizing CT of a similar age, and no honeycombing or interstitial fibrosis.
Cryptogenic organizing pneumonia
Masson bodies
Polypoid plugs of loose organizing CT
