Interstitial Lung Disease

Interstitial Lung Disease

Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD) is an umbrella term for a large group of disorders that cause progressive scarring (fibrosis) of lung tissue. The scarring eventually affects your ability to breathe and get enough oxygen into your bloodstream. Early diagnosis and targeted treatment are vital to help slow down the progression of lung damage.

Common Symptoms

Watch for these key indicators or warning signs:

  • Shortness of breath, especially with physical exertion
  • A dry, non-productive cough
  • Fatigue and weakness
  • Gradual, unexplained weight loss

Root Causes & Risk Factors

Common factors that trigger or aggravate this condition:

  • Occupational Hazards: Long-term exposure to hazardous materials like silica dust, asbestos fibres, and coal dust.
  • Autoimmune Diseases: Conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, scleroderma, and lupus.
  • Medications & Radiation: Side effects from certain drugs or radiation treatment to the chest.
