  2. Acute interstitial pneumonitis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acute_interstitial_pneumonitis

    Acute interstitial pneumonitis (also known as acute interstitial pneumonia) is a rare, severe lung disease that usually affects otherwise healthy individuals. There is no known cause or cure. Acute interstitial pneumonitis is often categorized as both an interstitial lung disease and a form of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).

  3. Interstitial lung disease - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interstitial_lung_disease

    Interstitial lung disease (ILD), or diffuse parenchymal lung disease (DPLD), [3] is a group of respiratory diseases affecting the interstitium (the tissue) and space around the alveoli (air sacs) of the lungs. [4] It concerns alveolar epithelium, pulmonary capillary endothelium, basement membrane, and perivascular and perilymphatic tissues. It ...

  4. Diffuse alveolar damage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffuse_alveolar_damage

    The alveolar type II epithelial cells are more resistant to damage, so after an insult to the alveoli, most of the damage will occur to the alveolar type I epithelial cells. [5] Left side demonstrate the structure of a normal alveolus including the difference between type I and type II alveolar epithelial cells.

  5. Pulmonary alveolus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulmonary_alveolus

    In addition to desmosomes, all type I alveolar cells have occluding junctions that prevent the leakage of tissue fluid into the alveolar air space. The relatively low solubility (and hence rate of diffusion) of oxygen necessitates the large internal surface area (about 80 square m [96 square yards]) and very thin walls of the alveoli.

  6. Idiopathic interstitial pneumonia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idiopathic_interstitial...

    Idiopathic interstitial pneumonia (IIP), or noninfectious pneumonia [1] are a class of diffuse lung diseases. These diseases typically affect the pulmonary interstitium , although some also have a component affecting the airways (for instance, cryptogenic organizing pneumonitis ).

  7. Diffusing capacity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffusing_capacity

    Diffusing capacity of the lung (D L) (also known as transfer factor) measures the transfer of gas from air in the lung, to the red blood cells in lung blood vessels. It is part of a comprehensive series of pulmonary function tests to determine the overall ability of the lung to transport gas into and out of the blood.

  8. Alveolar lung disease - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alveolar_lung_disease

    Alveolar lung disease may be divided into acute or chronic. Causes of acute alveolar lung disease include pulmonary edema (cardiogenic or neurogenic), pneumonia (bacterial or viral), systemic lupus erythematosus , [ 2 ] bleeding in the lungs (e.g., Goodpasture syndrome ), [ 3 ] idiopathic pulmonary hemosiderosis , [ 4 ] and granulomatosis with ...

  9. Desquamative interstitial pneumonia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desquamative_interstitial...

    In 1965 Liebow described 18 patients with pulmonary lesions with large alveolar cell proliferation and desquamation. Liebow also noted that the walls of the patient's distal airways were thickened. [23] The name "desquamative interstitial pneumonia" originated from the assumption that the disease was caused by epithelial cell desquamation. [1] [4]
