Introduction

Interstitial Lung Diseases (ILDs) represent a diverse group of pulmonary disorders, often posing diagnostic and therapeutic challenges.

Pathogenesis

ILDs primarily involve the lung parenchyma, leading to inflammation and fibrosis. Various etiologies include autoimmune diseases, occupational exposure, and idiopathic causes.

Diagnosis

High-resolution CT scans, pulmonary function tests, and occasionally lung biopsy, are essential in diagnosing ILDs.

Treatment

Management strategies involve treating underlying causes, using immunosuppressive and antifibrotic drugs, and lung transplantation in severe cases.

Conclusion

Understanding ILDs' complexities is crucial for optimal patient management and improving outcomes.
