• 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]

  This thickening can be due to a variety of causes such as: Associated autoimmune or collagen vascular diseases Exposure to medications or toxins such as asbestos, tobacco smoke, or environmental toxins Associated genetic diseases The cause is not known [medicinenet.com]

• Suggestibility

  Richardson and others (1991) suggested that about 6–12% of myeloid leukemia in the U.K. could be from radon. [nap.edu]

  Genetic studies suggest that a genetic component of the variance in radiation pneumonitis and fibrosis expression among patients is likely. [clinicaladvisor.com]

  This suggests that many Navajo may be held to the present 300 WLM or 500 WLM standard though their smoking history suggests that they probably do not meet the definition of smoker in the regulations. [ehss.energy.gov]

  "Our results suggest that the impact of ILD on radiation pneumonitis depends on the preexisting severity of the ILD findings and clinicians should be cautious when considering SBRT for those with significant ILD findings," say the authors. [sciencedaily.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]

Since ILDs vary widely in their treatments, an accurate diagnosis is essential for you to receive the optimal treatment. Our expertise includes: A list of standard lab tests that are always performed. [uchospitals.edu]

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]

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]

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]
