Interstitial Lung Disease Types of Interstitial Lung Disease. All forms of interstitial lung disease cause thickening of the interstitium. The thickening can be due to inflammation, scarring, or extra fluid (edema). Some forms of interstitial lung disease are short-lived; others are chronic and irreversible.Some of the types of interstitial lung disease include: Interstitial pneumonia: Bacteria, viruses, or fungi may infect the interstitium of the lung. A bacterium called Mycoplasma pneumonia is the most common cause.Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis: A chronic, progressive form of fibrosis (scarring) of the interstitium.ypersensitivity pneumonitis: Interstitial lung disease caused by ongoing inhalation of dust, mold, or other irritants. Cryptogenic organizing pneumonia (COP): A pneumonia-like interstitial lung disease but without an infection present. COP is also called bronchiolitis obliterans with organizing pneumonia (BOOP).

- Interstitial lung disease of unknown cause is predominated by idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, a specific and progressive fibrotic lung disease, followed by the idiopathic interstitial pneumonias, such as nonspecific interstitial pneumonia (NSIP), and sarcoidosis.nterstitial lung disease may be broadly categorized into known and unknown causes. Common known causes include autoimmune or rheumatologic diseases, occupational and organic exposures, medications, and radiation.

Black Lung Cases in Workers' Compensation Types of Black Lung. There are two types of black lung: simple and complicated. Most coal miners who get black lung disease have what’s called “simple black lung.” In simple black lung, the x-ray opacities are smaller and less numerous than in complicated black lung.

- One type of interstitial lung disease that may result in pulmonary fibrosis is known as sarcoidosis. Sarcoidosis is an inflammatory condition that results in the formation of granulomas within the lungs.linical Signs and Diagnostics. One notable clinical sign of restrictive lung disease I want you to be aware of is called rales, or crackles in the lungs. Some people say it sounds like popcorn popping when you listen using a stethoscope. In fact, take a listen for yourself to hear what this sounds like.

- The first is intrinsic lung diseases or diseases of the lung parenchyma. The diseases cause inflammation or scarring of the lung tissue (interstitial lung disease) or result in filling of the air spaces with exudate and debris (pneumonitis). These diseases can be characterized according to etiological factors.estrictive lung diseases are characterized by a reduction in FRC and other lung volumes because of pathology in lungs, pleura, or the structures of the thoracic cage. The distensibility of the respiratory system is called compliance, the volume change produced by a change in the distending pressure.

Interstitial Lung Disease (Interstitial Pneumonitis) Interstitial fibrosis is the term used to refer to the scarring of the lungs that can result from prolonged interstitial inflammation. Interstitial lung disease can be acute (coming on suddenly) or chronic (occurring over time). Medically Reviewed by a Doctor on 11/10/2014. Associated genetic diseases. 2  The cause is not known (idiopathic). 3  The most common symptoms of interstitial lung disease are a dry cough and shortness of breath.

Pleural Diseases Pleural Diseases. Types of pleural diseases include pleural effusion, pleurisy, hemothorax, and plueroal tumors. The pleura is a large sheet of tissue that contains a small amount of fluid that lines the thoracic (chest) cavity and covers the lungs.

Interstitial Lung Disease (Interstitial Pneumonitis) Interstitial lung disease results from a variety of causes that lead to thickening of the supporting tissue around the air sacs rather than the air sacs themselves. Interstitial lung disease usually involves all of the lungs diffusely rather than affecting only one area.

Diffuse Interstitial Lung Disease Diffuse Interstitial Lung Disease. 1  Diffuse interstitial lung disease refers to a large group of lung disorders that affect the interstitium, which is the connective tissue that forms the support structure of the alveoli (air sacs) of the lungs. Normally when you inhale, the alveoli fill with air and oxygen passes into the blood stream.

Frequently Asked Questions About Interstitial Lung Disease A. Interstitial lung disease (ILD)--or pulmonary fibrosis--refers to more than 200 chronic lung disorders. With ILD, the tissue between the air sacs of the lungs (the interstitium) is affected by inflammation or scarring (fibrosis).

interstitial lung disease The fibrosing or scarring of lung tissue is often the result of an immune reaction to an inhaled substance. However, interstitial lung disease may result from viral, bacterial, or other infections; uremic pneumonitis; cancer; a congenital or inherited disorder; or circulatory impairment. The condition may be self-limiting, progress to respiratory or cardiac failure, or undergo spontaneous recovery.

Interstitial lung disease Interstitial lung disease (ILD), or diffuse parenchymal lung disease (DPLD), is a group of lung diseases affecting the interstitium (the tissue and space around the air sacs of the lungs). It concerns alveolar epithelium, pulmonary capillary endothelium, basement membrane, perivascular and perilymphatic tissues.

Background Interstitial lung diseases (ILD) are common pulmonary complications of the CVDs. Approximately 15% of patients with an interstitial lung disease have an underlying connective-tissue disease.Almost all autoimmune conditions have been associated with the occurrence of ILD.

Nonspecific Interstitial Pneumonia (NSIP) NSIP can be found in a number of different diseases, including connective tissue disorders (diseases that affect the structural tissues in the body), reactions to certain medications, HIV, as well as other conditions. A large number of patients also have idiopathic NSIP, which means that the specific cause of the lung disease is unknown. There are two primary forms of NSIP - cellular and fibrotic. The cellular form is defined mainly by inflammation of the cells of the interstitium. The fibrotic form is defined by thickening and scarring of lung tissue. This scarring is known as fibrosis and is irreversible. When the lung tissue thickens or becomes scarred, it does not function as effectively.
