ILD & Lung Fibrosis Treatment Hospital in Himatnagar
Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is a group of conditions that cause inflammation and scarring (fibrosis) of the lungs. The lungs become stiff, causing a dry cough and breathlessness that slowly worsens. At Pluto Hospital, Himatnagar, ILD is evaluated with a high-resolution CT on our 128-slice scanner and managed with medicines, oxygen when needed and breathing rehab.
Understanding the Condition
What Is ILD?
In ILD, the tissue around the air sacs thickens and scars, so oxygen can’t pass easily into the blood. Causes include long-term exposure to dusts and birds, autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis, some medicines, and sometimes no known cause. Early diagnosis helps slow the disease.
Possible Causes
- Occupational dust – stone, silica, cotton
- Bird and pigeon exposure
- Rheumatoid arthritis and autoimmune diseases
- Some medicines
- Unknown cause (idiopathic)
