Restrictive Lung Diseases (Zaman) Flashcards
What type of lung DX has normal lung volume?
Dec lung volume?
Inc lung volume?
vascular (PAH) obstructed airway (asthma, COPD) Interstitial disease (fibrosis)
What is the definition of restrictive lung disease?
disease in which the expansion of the lung is limited WITHOUT airway obstruction
What are the classification of restrictinve lung disease
intrinsic/parenchymal= ILD or resection of lung tissue
extrinsic/extra-parenchymal= disorders of pleura, chest wall, or neuromuscular disorders
Pleural Effusion is (intrinsic or extrinsic) lung disease?
extrinsic
What does the “meniscus sign” indicate on CXR?
pleural effusion
What is the lung interstitium?
the extra-vascular and extra-pleural space
What parts of the interstitium does ILD involve?
CT and alveolar wall
T or F: ISD can be infectious or caseous
False: neither but it is due to an inflammatory process
What is the consequence of the inflammation on ILD?
excess growth of CT –> distortion of lung parenchyma –> dysfunction of gas exchange
Describe the structure of normal lung interstitium.
- parenchymal cells = type I and II alveolar epithlial cells, endothelial cells
- Inflammatory cells = macrophages > lymphocytes > neutrophils
- CT elements = fibroblasts, collagen, elastin, proteoglycans
What repopulates type I alveolar epithelial cells when they are damaged?
type II epithelial cells
Describe the structure of lung interstitium in ILD
loss of type I cells, compressed pulm capilaries, increased CT –> thickened alveolar wall
Describe the pathophysiology of ILD
Injury to the alveolar epithelial layer leads to tissue damage and cell death.
–> damage to the basement membrane and the release of a variety of factors: TGF-B, IGF-1, LGF, CTGF, PDGF
–> stimulate fibroblasts to produce extracellular matrix components, particularly collagen
–>fibrous-rich regions impedes the recovery of the normal epithelial cell layer
How do pts compensate for dec long volume assc with ILD?
increased RR
decrease size of breaths = more shallow
How are the etiologies of ILD subdivided?
known and unknown and granulomatous and non-granulomatous
WHat is the likely etiology of pneumonia in a farmer?
hypersensitivity pneumonitis
Drug induced ILD is (granulomatous or non-granulomatous)
non-granulomatous
External radiation induced ILD is (granulomatous or non-granulomatous)
non-granulomatous
