Delivering Advanced Care For Lung Diseases
We understand how difficult it is to suffer with an interstitial lung disease (ILD) while looking for advanced treatment. Dr. Ankur Mehta, an expert pulmonologist at Care Superspeciality Hospital, aims to provide a personalized care program for ILD patients.
ILD or Interstitial Lung Disease, causes scarring and inflammation of the lung tissues, which is known as Pulmonary Fibrosis. It affects the ability to breathe, and a patient does not get proper oxygen into the bloodstream. There are more than 200 types of interstitial lung disease.
One of the most common interstitial lung disease examples is Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis, out of these 200 types. Many connective tissue disorders and occupational exposure diseases follow it. Other examples of ILD are silicosis, asbestosis, non-specific interstitial pneumonia, and radiation pneumonia.
Most ILDs can be mild, but most of them are life-threatening, as they can take the form of lung cancer. Contact Dr. Ankur at Care Superspeciality Hospital to avert this adverse medical condition. They will run a few tests and diagnosis to find the underlying causes and start the treatment quickly.
What Causes ILD To Occur?
ILD occurs because of prolonged exposure to chemicals or harmful toxins. Even rheumatoid arthritis is one such condition that is responsible for it. Causes can be known or unknown. If you notice interstitial lung disease symptoms like dry cough, chest discomfort, weight loss, labored breathing, and severe fatigue, visit specialists at Care Superspeciality Hospital.
You must understand that the interstitial lung disease causes can be known or unknown. The known causes are:
- Connective Tissue disorders like rheumatoid arthritis, Scleroderma, and Lupus
- Inhaling harmful substances like silica, tobacco, asbestos, and beryllium
- Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis
- Certain medications and treatments, such as radiation therapy, amiodarone, methotrexate, etc.
- Granulomatous disease such as Sarcoidosis
The only unknown cause of ILD is idiopathic interstitial pneumonia. The most common type of unknown cause is idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis or scarring of lung tissue.
We conduct X-rays, pulmonary function tests, blood tests, bronchoscopy, and biopsy under interstitial lung disease treatment. It helps Dr. Ankur and his team identify the type of ILD to provide the best treatment under the ILD Care Program.
