    ILD includes many different pulmonary disorders, and some symptoms may vary based on an individual condition. [lunginstitute.com]

    Pulmonary disorders induced by monoclonal antibodies in patients with rheumatologic autoimmune diseases Am J Med 2011; 124: 386-94. ]. [benthamopen.com]

    These pulmonary disorders consisted of silicosis and pulmonary fibrosis (scarring of the lung tissue). These conditions were the sequelae of inhaling rock dust and radioactive particles (radon daughters). [ehss.energy.gov]

  • Vascular Disease

    Diffuse alveolar hemorrhage also associated with systemic vasculitis, progressive glomerulonephritis, collagen vascular disease, and immunocompromised hosts. [lumen.luc.edu]

    These types of conditions are also considered to be connective tissue diseases, collagen vascular diseases, or rheumatologic diseases which all affect the immune system. [pulmonaryfibrosisnews.com]

    Tests for collagen vascular disease ( lupus, rheumatoid arthritis ), arterial blood gases, liver tests, and others may be beneficial. Noninvasive tests that measure lung function are known as pulmonary function tests (PFTs). [medicinenet.com]

  • Withdrawn

    Some patients develop recurrent disease when steroids are withdrawn. Typically, these patients respond to a longer steroid taper over four to six months. [clinicaladvisor.com]

    Simultaneously with the tensioning of the spring, the driven member is displaced by a predetermined distance in the upper housing part, the hollow plunger is withdrawn inside the cylinder in the pump housing whereby a portion of the fluid from the reservoir [google.al]

    In the first step, the medication should be withdrawn and the treatment of DILD consists appropriately managing of pulmonary symptoms, after other possibilities are eliminated and DILD is highly suspected. [benthamopen.com]

  • Agitation

    The central effects of general restlessness, agitation, insomnia, anxiety, trembling fingers, sweats and headaches may occur. [google.tl]

  • Seizure

    Antiobiotics used to treat heart conditions like nitrofurantoin and sulfasalazine, as well as the seizure medication phenytoin, are also known to cause pulmonary fibrosis. [pulmonaryfibrosisnews.com]

A proper and detailed history looking for the occupational exposures, and for signs of conditions listed above is the first and probably the most important part of the workup in patients with interstitial lung disease. [en.wikipedia.org]

At present, there is no consensus for a definite diagnostic workup approach in patients with a suspicion of diffuse DILD. [benthamopen.com]

Treatment The treatment of ILD depends on the degree of inflammation and scarring. [cumc.columbia.edu]

The primary goal in the treatment of ILD is to reduce the buildup of scar tissue. [hospitals.jefferson.edu]

For some people, adding natural treatments to their current treatment plan has helped. These types of treatments can include dietary supplements, herbs, gentle exercise and cellular therapy. [lunginstitute.com]

Prognosis. In the case of pneumonitis with a good response to treatment, the prognosis is favorable. The prognosis for fibrosis is variable. [archbronconeumol.org]

(Outcomes/Resolutions) Prognosis of Radiation-Induced Pulmonary Fibrosis depends upon the extent of scarring in the lungs and resulting symptoms. [dovemed.com]

Prognosis Prognosis is good with early diagnosis and management. Late-diagnosed chronic pneumonitis may lead to progressive, irreversible lung disease. [patient.info]

For discussion of these features please refer to: radiation pneumonitis radiation fibrosis Treatment and prognosis Steroid can reduce the severity of acute radiation pneumonitis 1. [radiopaedia.org]

Immune modulators and corticosteroids are used in cases of unknown etiology. In advanced stages of disease ILD can result in pulmonary insufficiency and respiratory heart failure with right ventricular insufficiency. [amboss.com]

While there are multiple methods by which to classify these diseases, one option is to classify by their etiologies. There are seven categories that are frequently used: 1. [cancertherapyadvisor.com]

Based on the Bernalillo County, NM, USA registry data published in 1994, the overall estimated incidence is approximately 30 cases per 100,000 persons per year. [2] Rates of interstitial lung disease are somewhat higher in men than in women, and the epidemiology [emedicine.medscape.com]

Furthermore, we know two other pathophysiologic principles in pulmonary toxicity [ 75 Kaarteenaho R, Kinnula V. Diffuse alveolar damage: A common phenomenon in progressive interstitial lung disorders Pulm Med 2011; 2011: 531302. ]. [benthamopen.com]

Prevention Since the late 1970s, many regulations have been enacted to protect workers from asbestos exposure. Reducing or eliminating asbestos exposure is the best way to prevent asbestosis. [asbestos.com]

Can interstitial lung disease be prevented? Interstitial lung disease can be prevented only to the extent that its individual causes may be prevented. [medicinenet.com]

Alternatively, medications have been tried in an attempt to prevent the development of lung injury. [clinicaladvisor.com]
