On BAL, the lavage fluid itself often shows yellow-brownish discoloration, the alveolar macrophages seen in increased numbers have yellow, gold, brown or black pigments; eosinophils, neutrophils and lymphocytes may be present to a slightly increased extent[pulmonary-fibrosis.net]
Many affected individuals also experience a loss of appetite and gradual weightloss. Some people with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis develop widened and rounded tips of the fingers and toes (clubbing) resulting from a shortage of oxygen.[icdlist.com]
As the disease progresses, weightloss, muscle and joint pain, and fatigue may also occur.[radiologyinfo.org]
Weightloss, most often in people with COP or BOOP. In most forms of interstitial lung disease, the shortness of breath develops slowly (over months).[webmd.com]
Some people may also experience unexplained weightloss. Anyone who is having trouble breathing should see their doctor for a diagnosis.[medicalnewstoday.com]
Fevers, fatigue, and weightloss are non-specific, but can suggest an infectious process. It is often difficult to make a diagnosis from symptoms alone, since so many lung diseases can present with shortness of breath and cough.[medicinenet.com]

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]
The exact epidemiology is difficult to determine due to misidentification of patients as having more common disorders such as congestive heart failure or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The epidemiology varies based on the ILD subtype.[accessmedicine.mhmedical.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]

When interstitial disease is present, the lung becomes inflamed and stiff, preventing the alveoli from fully expanding. This limits both the delivery of oxygen to the blood stream and the removal of carbon dioxide from the body.[radiologyinfo.org]
Antifibrotic drugs such as pirfenidone (Esbriet) and nintedanib (Ovef) may prevent further scarring in the lungs. These drugs are both approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.[healthline.com]
