Breath of Awareness: Exploring Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD)

Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD) consists of various lung disorders that cause progressive scarring and inflammation of the lung tissue. This scarring of lung tissue can result in difficulty breathing and impair oxygen supply to the bloodstream, making it critical for daily activities. With over 200 different types of ILD, including idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and sarcoidosis, understanding this condition can be distressing. In this episode of the Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD) podcast, we will explore this complex and most often misunderstood condition, which has symptoms similar to those of other lung disorders, such as breathlessness and chest tightness. Join the PACE Hospitals Podcast with Dr. Pradeep Kiran Panchadi, Consultant Interventional Pulmonologist and specialist in Bronchoscopy and EBUS at PACE Hospitals, Hitech City, Hyderabad, India, to understand the latest insights and discuss the causes, complications, and advancements in the diagnosis and treatment of Interstitial Lung Disease.
