Understanding Interstitial Lung Disease

Interstitial lung disease (ILD) involves a variety of pulmonary disorders affecting the distal lung parenchyma. In ILD, toxic inhalational triggers initiate an inflammatory process leading to collagen deposition, fibrosis, and reduced lung function. This results in symptoms like insidious dyspnea, delayed diagnosis, non -productive cough, and potential complications like pneumothoraces and secondary infections.
