Term
restrictive pulmonary disease: AKA
Definition
interstitial lung disease
Term
unlike obstructive lung diseases, restricted lung diseases are assoc w: what kind of lung volumes?
Definition
reduced; can't get a good breath into the lungs
Term
given that there are reducede lung volumes which lung capacities are affected and how?
Definition
decreased: TLC, VC, FRC but with preserved air flow.
Term
there are 2 groups of restricive lung diseases:
Definition
1. intrinsic; diseases of the parenchyma
2. extrinsic: outside the parenchyma
Term
pathophysiology of intrinsic lung disease:
Definition
disease cause inflammation &/or scaring of the lung tissue (intersittial) OR air spaces fill with exudate (pneumonitis)
Term
define: interstitial lung disease, which group of restrictive lung disease does it fall into?
Definition
interstitial: disease that causes inflammation &/or scaring of the lung tissue which would fall into the intrinsic group of restrictive disease bc it involves the parenchyma
Term
define: pneumonitis
Definition
filling of air spaces with exudate and debris; also considered an interstitial lung disease
Term
which structures may be involved in the extrinsic restrictive pulmonary disorders? give two examples of anatomical disorders leading to restrictive pulmonary disorder?
Definition
chest wall, pleura, respiratory muscles, neuromuscular disorders
ex: kiphosis, lordosis
Term
3 classifications of interstitial lung disease:
Definition
1. idiopathic interstitial pneumonia
2. hypersensativity pneumonitis
3. interstitial lung disease assoc w collagen vascular disease
Term
2 diseases under the class of idiopathic interstitial pneumonia:
Definition
1. idiopathic fibrosing interstitial pneumonia
2. respiratory bronchiolitis
Term
2 types of hypersensativity pneumonitis
Definition
1. occupational/environmental
2. drug induced/iatrogenic
Term
4 ILD assoc w collagen vascular disease:
Definition
1. RA
2. SLE
3. sjogren's syndrome
4. ankylosing spondylitis
Term
which type of restrictive lung disease does sarcoidosis fall?
Definition
intrinsic; ILD
Term
what is the outcome of breathing at such low lung volumes?
Definition
V/Q mismatch; arterial hypoxemia> hyperventilation
Term
define: idiopathic fibrosing interstitial pneumonia
Definition
chronic, progressive fibrosing interstitial lung disease of unknown etiology, characterized by poor prognosis and no proven effective Tx
Term
describe the pathophys of idiopathic fibrosing interstitial pneumonia
Definition
intra-alveolar inflammation caused first by lymphocytes and plasma cells then come fibroblasts laying down collagen leading to chronic fibrosis of the lung
Term
what is the characteristic radiographic sign in idiopathic fibrosing interstitial pneumonia?
Definition
honeycomb lung
Term
what is the median survival rate post Dx of idiopathic fibrosing interstitial pneumonia?
Definition
2-4 yrs
Term
what are 2 contributing factors of idiopathic fibrosing interstitial pneumonia?
Definition
Pulmonary HTN, GERD
Term
clinical presentation for idiopathic fibrosing interstitial pneumoinia:
Definition
most common Sx = exertional dyspnea then nonproductive cough in the am.
also: finger clubbing, pulm HTN, end of inspiration lung crackles @ base of lungs
Term
which lab is elevated in 50% of pts with idiopathic fibrosing interstitial pneumomia?
Definition
ESR
Term
CXR for idiopathic fibrosing interstitial pneumonia shows:
Definition
BILATERAL infiltrates @ periphery and bases of lungs
Term
what other imaging may be helpful in idopathic fibrosing interstitial pneumonia?
Definition
HRCT- High Resolution Computed Tomography
Term
what is seen in HRCT in idiopathic fibrosing interstitial pneumonia
Definition
reticular opacities, honeycombing and architectural distortion
Term
what is an independant predictor of mortality seen in HRCT of an idiopathic fibrosing interstitial pneumoinia patient?
Definition
higher extent of honeycombing
Term
in idiopathic fibrosing interstitial pneumonia, what does the blood gas look like? why?
Definition
aPO2 & aPCO2 = decresed, pH = normal; PO2 decreased bc of the increased distance of diffusion from fibrosis, CO2 = decreased bc of hyperventilation, pH = normal bc its a chronic cond and is compensated from alkilosis
Term
4 major criteria for idiopathic fibrosing interstitial pneumonia:
Definition
1. exclusion of other known causes of interstitial lung disease.
2. restrictive pattern on PFT/impared gas exchange
3. bilateral basilar reticular opacities on HRCT
4. Bx or BAL show no features to support alternative Dx
Term
4 minor criteria for idiopathic fibrosing interstitial pneumonia:
Definition
1. >50
2. unexplained dypnea upon exertion
3. illness >3mo
4. bibasilar inspiratory crackles
Term
what is the standard therapy for idiopathic fibrosing interstitial pneumonia:
Definition
Corticosteroid: prednisone & O2 therapy
Term
prednisone therapy is combined with what for idiopathic fibrosing interstitial pneumonia?
Definition
immunosupressive therapy; azathioprine
Term
who is most likely to be Dx w IFIP?
Definition
older men
Term
Sarcoidosis is considred what type of restrictive lung disease?
Definition
intrinsic/interstitial
Term
sarcoidosis etiology:
Definition
unknown
Term
define: sarcoidosis
Definition
multisystem granulomatous disease of unknown etiology that predominately affects the lungs(80%)
Term
what plays a central role in the pathophys of sarcoidosis?
Definition
T cells; propogate excessive immune rxn
B cells; immunoglobulin production
Term
4 clinical presentations of sarcoidosis:
Definition
1. Asymptomatic in 30-60%
2. systemic complaints in 30%
3. Respiratory Sx in 50%
4. Lofgren's sendrome 10-20%
Term
Lofgren syndrome is characterized by:
Definition
bilateral hilar adenopathy, fever, polyarthalgias
Term
skin of sarcoidosis presentation:
Definition
lupus pernio, erythema nodosum
Term
physical exam of lungs in sarcoidosis may reveal:
Definition
crackles or could be normal
Term
what other organs may be involved in sarcoidosis:
Definition
eyes, liver, heart, kidneys, skin, everything?
Term
which analyte may be elevated in sarcoidosis?
Definition
calcium; hypercalcemia/hypercalciuria
Term
TEST Q: sarcoidosis tissue Bx reveals:
Definition
noncaseating granuloma
Term
how would a CXR compare btwn sarcoidosis and IFIP?
Definition
IFIP is bilateral and basilar infiltrates and sarcoidosis is hilar or mediastinal adenopathy
Term
what are the mainstay of therapy for sarcoidosis?
Definition
corticosteroids: Prednisone
NSAIDs are being used more freq
Term
what is the second line therapy for sarcoidosis:
Definition
azathioprine; immunosupessant
Term
prognosis of sarcoidosis:3 markers for porr prognosis:
Definition
many resolve spontaneously
1. advanced CXR stage
2. extrapulmonary disease
3. pulm HTN
Term
disease of the lung caused by chronic inhalation of dust:
Definition
pneumonoconiosis
Term
extrinsic allergic alveolitis = AKA
Definition
hypersensativity pneumonitis
Term
Hypersensative pneumonitis is caused by an allergic rxn to inhalation of:
Definition
an orgainc antigen
Term
epidemiology of hypersensative pneumonitis
Definition
prevalence and incidence are low; farmers & bird fanciers
Term
clinical manifestations of acute hypersensativity pneumonitis:
Definition
sudden onset: malaise, NV, cough, dyspnea, chest tightness
Term
subacute hypersensativity pneumonitis:
Definition
gradual devel. productive cough, dyspnea, fatigue, anorexia
Term
hypersensativity pneumonitis BAL reveals:
Definition
lymphocytosis; CD4:CD8 = <1
Term

Term
which procedure is required for Dx of hypersensativity pneumonitis?
