Quantitative Stratification of Diffuse Parenchymal Lung Diseases
Diffuse parenchymal lung diseases (DPLDs) are characterized by widespread pathological changes within the pulmonary tissue that impair the elasticity and gas exchange properties of the lungs. Clinical-radiological diagnosis of these diseases remains challenging and their clinical course is characterized by variable disease progression. These challenges have hindered the introduction of robust o...
متن کاملPulmonary Hypertension in Diffuse Parenchymal Lung Diseases.
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) can be triggered by any number of disease processes that result in increased pulmonary vascular resistance. Although historically associated with idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), most patients with PH do not have the idiopathic subtype, but rather PH associated with another underlying diagnosis, such as left heart or lung disease. The World Health Or...
متن کاملRole of Bronchoscopy in Diffuse Parenchymal Lung Diseases
Diffuse parenchymal lung diseases (DPLD) constitute a group of over 200 diverse etiologic entities which present with respiratory symptoms and diffuse lung infiltrates. Flexible bronchoscopy is a useful tool for the early diagnosis of DPLD so that definitive treatment can be instituted and long term outcomes are improved. In immune compromised patients presenting with DPLD, Bronchoalveolar lava...
متن کاملRole of Transbronchial Lung Cryobiopsies in Diffuse Parenchymal Lung Diseases: Interest of a Sequential Approach
Background. Transbronchial lung cryobiopsies (TBLCs) are a promising diagnostic tool in the setting of diffuse parenchymal lung diseases (DPLDs). However, no comparison with surgical lung biopsy (SLB) in the same patient is available. Methods. The diagnostic yield and safety data of TBLCs, as well as the result of SLB performed after TBLCs, were analysed in a multicentric Belgian study. A SLB w...
