Interstitial Lung Disease Diagnosis & Management
Interstitial Lung Disease Diagnosis & Management
Interstitial lung disease (ILD) refers to a group of conditions that cause scarring and inflammation of the lung tissue, leading to breathing difficulties and reduced oxygen levels. Early diagnosis and expert management are critical for slowing disease progression and improving quality of life.
What is Interstitial Lung Disease?
ILD includes a wide range of lung disorders that affect the interstitium, the tissue surrounding the air sacs of the lungs. Over time, this tissue can become thickened or scarred, making it harder for oxygen to pass into the bloodstream.
