WHAT IS ILD (INTERSTITIAL LUNG DISEASE)
Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD) is a group of large
number of disorders that cause inflammation or scarring (fibrosis) of the
lungs. The scarring or inflammation causes stiffness in the lungs which makes
person difficult to breathe. ILD can be associated with Myositis. Some major
types of ILDs include:
•
Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis
• Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis
• Sarcoidosis
• Asbestosis
• Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis
• Sarcoidosis
• Asbestosis
ILD can be caused by exposure to hazardous chemicals, certain
medications and medical treatments. Shortness of breath and dry cough are very
common symptoms of ILD.
Timely diagnosis and treatments are very important
because ILD is progressive and can even cause life threatening condition.
Treatments can’t reverse lung damage but they can slower disease progression
and help to breathe more easily.
