Interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) comprise over 200 conditions that cause inflammation and scarring of the lung tissue, making breathing increasingly difficult over time. These diseases affect the interstitium—the space around the tiny air sacs in the lungs—where gas exchange occurs. As scarring progresses, lungs become stiff and cannot expand properly, reducing oxygen transfer to the bloodstream. Common symptoms include: Progressive shortness of breath Dry, persistent cough Fatigue and weakness Unexplained weight loss Clubbing of fingertips Dr. Ashwin Yadav employs advanced diagnostic tools including high-resolution CT scans, pulmonary function tests, and when necessary, lung biopsies to accurately identify specific ILDs. Treatment approaches vary depending on the underlying cause but may include corticosteroids, immunosuppressants, antifibrotic medications, and oxygen therapy. Pulmonary rehabilitation can help maintain function and quality of life. Early diagnosis is crucial as some lung damage cannot be reversed. If you experience persistent respiratory symptoms, consult Dr. Yadav for expert evaluation and care. #InterstitialLungDisease #ILD #PulmonaryFibrosis #LungSpecialist #DrAshwinYadav #RespiratoryMedicine #PulmonologistAgra #LungHealth #BreathingDifficulty #ChronicLungDisease
