About Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD)

Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD) is a group of disorders characterized by inflammation and scarring (fibrosis) of the lung tissue, primarily affecting the interstitium—the space around the air sacs (alveoli). ILD can result from various causes, including autoimmune diseases, long-term exposure to harmful substances, infections, or certain medications. Common symptoms include shortness of breath, persistent dry cough, fatigue, and chest discomfort. Diagnosis often involves imaging tests and lung function assessments, while treatment options may include medications, oxygen therapy, pulmonary rehabilitation, or, in severe cases, lung transplantation. Early detection and management are crucial for improving quality of life

  • Biopsy: In some cases, a lung biopsy may be necessary to determine the specific type of ILD.

 

Personalized Treatment Plans
Treatment for ILD depends on the underlying cause and may include:

  • Medications: Anti-inflammatory drugs, immunosuppressants, or antifibrotic agents to reduce inflammation and slow disease progression.
  • Oxygen Therapy: Supplemental oxygen to help improve breathing and oxygenation.
    Pulmonary
  • Rehabilitation: A structured program to improve lung function and physical fitness through exercise and education.

Advanced Treatments
For advanced cases of ILD, additional treatment options may include:

  • Lung Transplantation: Considered for eligible patients with end-stage lung disease.
  • Clinical Trials: Access to innovative therapies and research studies.
