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

Comprehensive Care for Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD)

At PULMODOC, we specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD), a group of disorders that cause inflammation and scarring of the lung tissue. This can lead to progressive breathing difficulties and reduced oxygen supply to the body. Our dedicated team of healthcare professionals is committed to providing personalized care to manage symptoms and improve your quality of life.

Our Approach to Diagnosis and Treatment

At PULMODOC, we take a comprehensive approach to ensure accurate diagnosis and effective treatment for ILD.

Accurate Diagnosis :- 

  • Medical History Review: Our specialists will evaluate your symptoms and medical history.
  • Physical Examination: A thorough assessment to check for signs of lung disease.
  • Imaging Tests: Chest X-rays and CT scans are used to visualize lung abnormalities.
  • Lung Function Tests: To assess how well your lungs are working.
  • 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.
