Q

What is the consequence of the inflammation on ILD?

A

Q

Describe the structure of normal lung interstitium.

A
  1. parenchymal cells = type I and II alveolar epithlial cells, endothelial cells
  2. Inflammatory cells = macrophages > lymphocytes > neutrophils
  3. CT elements = fibroblasts, collagen, elastin, proteoglycans

Q

Describe the structure of lung interstitium in ILD

A

loss of type I cells, compressed pulm capilaries, increased CT –> thickened alveolar wall

Q

Describe the pathophysiology of ILD

A

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

Q

How do pts compensate for dec long volume assc with ILD?

A

increased RR

decrease size of breaths = more shallow

Q

What are examples of drugs known to cause ILD

A

bleomysin, amiroderone, nitrofurantion

20
Q

What inorganic dusts are granulomatous etiologies of ILD?

non-granulomatous?

A

granulomatous: berylliosis

non-granulomatous: asbestos, coal, silica

21
Q

Sarcoidosis is (granulomatous or non-granulomatous)

A

granulomatous

22
Q

What are the ILD of unknown etiologies that are non-granulomatous?

A

idiopathic interstitial pneumonias

ILD with connective tissue diseases (RA, lupus, scleroderma, dermatomyositis)

23
Q
The hypoxemia of ILD is due to?
A. Hypoventilation
B. VA/QC mismatch 
C. Diffusion defect
D. Right to left shunt
A

B. VA/QC mismatch

V = 0

24
Q

pts with ILD will be (hypo or hyper capnic)

A

hypocapnic = inc RR to compensate for dec lung volume

25
Q

ILD pts will have a normal or widened A-a gradient?

A

widened

26
Q

ILD pts have exercised induced ____

A

hypoxia

sorry, didn;t know how to ask this

27
Q
Will pts wth ILD have..
Reduced expiatory flow?
Reduced TLC?
Reduced VC?
Reduced diffusing capacity?
A

No
Yes
Yes
Yes

28
Q

What is the most common symptom of ILD?

A

dyspnea

29
Q

What are common signs of ILD?

A

Clubbing of digits
Tachypnea
Crackles/”velcro” rales

Late DZ: cor-pulomanale, cyanosis

30
Q

Why is cor pulomonale a consequence of late ILD?

A

the RV has to work harder to pump blood through the compressed capillaries (due to increased intersititium)

31
Q

What are the radiological findings assc with early, middle, and late ILD?

A

early: ground glass
middle: reticular, nodular, reticulo-nodular
late: honeycombing

32
Q

How is the diagnosis of ILD made?

A

H&P + imaging studies for comparison + PFTs + BAL and lung biopsy

33
Q

What is BAL?

A

Broncho-Alveolar Lavage: stick a bronchoscopre in and flush alveoli with saline and then suction out saline to study contents of alveoli

34
Q

What are the major inflammatory cells in alveoli?

A

macrophages (90%)

35
Q

If more lymphocytes are found than macrophages in a BAL sample what DZ might you expect?

A

sarcoidosis

36
Q

How could a pt have decrease lung volume without alteration of the structure of the interstitium?

A

lung resection (Pneumonectomy)

37
Q

Name disorders of the pleura that cause ILD?

A

mesothelioma, pleural effusion, pheumothorax

38
Q

Name disorders of the chest wall that cause ILD?

A

Kyphoscoliosis

39
Q

Pathophysiology of hypoxemia in ILD is due mainly to …
