Interstitial Lung Diseases (ILDs) | Advanced Diagnosis & Treatment
Expert care for ILDs with precise diagnosis, personalized treatment plans, and advanced therapies to manage lung scarring and improve breathing
What is Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD)?
Interstitial Lung Diseases (ILDs) are a group of over 200 lung conditions that cause lung tissue inflammation, scarring (fibrosis), and reduced oxygen exchange.
Common ILDs include:
✔ Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) – Progressive lung scarring with unknown cause.
✔ Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis (HP) – Inflammation due to allergens or environmental exposure.
✔ Connective Tissue Disease-related ILD (CTD-ILD) – Associated with rheumatoid arthritis, scleroderma, and lupus.
✔ Sarcoidosis – Inflammatory granulomas in the lungs and other organs.
✔ Pneumoconiosis – Lung damage due to exposure to dust, asbestos, or silica.
ILD Symptoms & When to See a Doctor
Key Symptoms of ILDs
Persistent dry cough
Fatigue and unexplained weight loss
Shortness of breath (even with mild activity)
Chest discomfort or tightness
Comprehensive ILD Diagnosis
Our Advanced ILD Diagnosis & Treatment Approach
Accurate diagnosis is key to managing ILDs effectively. We use:
Pulmonary Function Test (PFT)
Measures lung capacity & oxygen levels
High-Resolution CT Scan (HRCT)
Detects lung scarring & fibrosis patterns.
Bronchoscopy & Lung Biopsy
For in-depth tissue examination
Blood Tests & Autoimmune Screening
Identifies underlying causes
Personalized ILD Treatment Plans
While ILDs have no complete cure, early intervention can slow progression and improve breathing.
Medications for ILD Management
- Anti-fibrotic Therapy (Nintedanib, Pirfenidone) – Slows lung scarring in IPF.
- Corticosteroids & Immunosuppressants – Reduces lung inflammation in certain ILDs.
Pulmonary Rehabilitation
- Breathing exercises & oxygen therapy to enhance lung efficiency.
- Physical training & endurance-building exercises.
Lifestyle Modifications for ILD Management
- Smoking Cessation Programs – Prevents further lung damage..
- Nutritional Support – Helps maintain energy levels.
- Oxygen Therapy – For patients with low blood oxygen levels.
