Symptoms of interstitial pneumonia?

summary

Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is the general term of clinical pathological entity composed of different disease groups with diffuse lung parenchyma, alveolitis and interstitial fibrosis as the basic pathological changes, active dyspnea, diffuse shadow on chest X-ray, restrictive ventilation disorder, decreased diffusion function (DLCO) and hypoxemia as the clinical manifestations. Symptoms of interstitial pneumonia? Next, I'd like to share my views with you.

Symptoms of interstitial pneumonia?

ILD is usually not malignant and is not caused by known infectious pathogens. Although there is an acute stage of the disease, the onset is often insidious, and the course of the disease is chronic. The body's initial reaction to the disease is inflammatory reaction in the lung and alveolar wall, leading to alveolitis,

Finally, inflammation will spread to the adjacent interstitial parts and blood vessels, resulting in interstitial fibrosis, resulting in scar formation and lung tissue damage, reducing ventilation function. Inflammation can also involve the trachea and bronchioles, often accompanied by organized pneumonia, which is also a manifestation of interstitial pneumonia.

Signs: shortness of breath, cyanosis, Velcro rales (continuous, high-profile crackles) in the middle and lower parts of both lungs, clubbing fingers, among which Velcro rales are the most characteristic.
