Q

How does AIP present?

A

AIP presents like ARDS, with acute hypoxemia, bilateral alveolar infiltrates and hyaline membranes, without a clear trigger

Q

How is AIP differentiated from ARDS?

A

ARDS is due to a lack of surfactant, and is therefore not an IIP because it has a clear cause; AIP mimics ARDS but does not have a clear cause and is therefore an IIP

Q

What basic lab work should be done to rule out IIP?

Q

What is the drawback of the hypersensitivity pneumonitis panel?

A

The major drawback is that because it screens for the presence of antibodies against inhaled antigens, it may not be specific in diagnosing Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis because the antibodies may circulate naturally

21
Q

What is sarcoidosis?

A

A multisystem idiopathic granulomatous disease

22
Q

Who is frequently effected by sarcoidosis?

A

Younger patients

23
Q

Which disease causes bilateral hilar adenopathy and upper lobe parenchymal disease/nodules?

A

Sarcoidosis

24
Q

How does Sarcoidosis present on CXR?

A

Bilateral hilar adenopathy and upper lobe nodules

25
Q

What types of granulomas does Sarcoidosis form?

A

Well formed non-caseating granulomas

26
Q

What non-lung symptoms might a Sarcoid patient have?

A

Nerve damage, cardiac arrhythmias, liver damage

27
Q

How is management of COP and AIP different?

A

COP responds to steroids, AIP does not

28
Q

How is the presentation of COP and AIP different?

A

Both are ILD’s, but AIP is much more severe while COP is subacute

29
Q

Do ground glass opacities support or rule out IPF?

A

Rule out, and suggest smoking-induced disease

30
Q

Why is a diagnosis of IPF important?

A

Low survival, and the only form of lung disease that is worsened by immunosuppression

31
Q

What is the treatment regiment for IPF?

A

Antifibrotic therapy = Pirfenidone and Nintedanib, do not immunosuppress

32
Q

Should corticosteroids be used in IPF?

A

NO, immunosuppression worsens IPF

33
Q

What clinical features are consistent with IPF?

A

Cough and dyspnea without an obvious trigger, with a history of smoking

34
Q

Is a history of smoking supportive of a diagnosis of IPF?

A

Surprisingly, yes

35
Q

What radiographic features are consistent with IPF?

A

A UIP pattern on HRCT

36
Q

What is a UIP pattern?

A

A pattern of HRCT that includes basal fibrosis and honeycombing, as well as reticulation

37
Q

What is traction bronchiectasis and does it support IPF?

A

Traction bronchiectasis is dilation of an airway due to inflammation, and supports IPF

38
Q

Does ground glass support IPF?

A

No, wrong radiographic pattern (UIP supports)

39
Q

Does upper lobe fibrosis support IPF?

A

No, wrong radiographic pattern (lower lobe supports)

40
Q

Does consolidation support IPF?

A

No, wrong radiographic patterns (consolidation =/= fibrosis)

41
Q

How is consolidation different from ground glass?

A

Ground glass is semi-transparent on radiography while consolidation is thick white

42
Q

Does peribronchovascular fibrosis support IPF?

A

No, wrong radiographic pattern (IPF effects the periphery of the lung)

43
Q

Do diffuse micronodules support IPF?

A

No, wrong radiographic pattern (IPF is concentrated at the periphery of the lung)

44
Q

What should be done if a patient seems to have inconclusive features of IPF?

A

Order a lung biopsy

45
Q

What are the key features of the UIP pattern on Histology?

A

Spatial and Temporal Heterogeneity, Fibroblastic Foci, and Microscopic Honeycombing

46
Q

How does a UIP pattern swing an IPF diagnosis?

A

If you see UIP in an otherwise inconclusive patient, diagnose IPF

47
Q

Does the pharmacological treatment for IPF improve mortality?

A

Pirfenidone and Nintedanib do not improve mortality, but may improve lung function

48
Q

What is the non-pharmacological treatment for IPF?

A

Supplemental O2 to treat hypoxia, positive pressure ventilation, flu vaccines, palliative care
