1
Q

What happens to the TLC in restrictive diseases?

A

Decreases

2
Q

What happens to the FEV1/FVC in restrictive diseases?

A

Increased (greater than 80%)

3
Q

What happens to the FVC in restrictive diseases?

A

Decreases drastically

4
Q

What happens to the FEV1 in restrictive diseases?

A

Decreases slightly

5
Q

What is the most common cause of restrictive diseases?

A

Interstitial Disease

6
Q

What are some other causes of restrictive diseases?

A

Chest Wall Disease

7
Q

Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis

A

Fibrosis of lung interstitium

8
Q

What is the pathogenesis of IPF?

A

It is due to cyclical lung injury with TGF-b from injured pneumocytes will induce the fibrosis

9
Q

What are some drugs that can cause Interstitial fibrosis

A

Amiodarone

Bleomycin

10
Q

Where does the fibrosis from IPF start at?

A

Sub-pleural space

11
Q

Pneumoconiosis

A

Interstitial fibrosis due to exposure to different types of dust that are fibrogenic

12
Q

What is fibrosis in pneumoconiosis caused by?

A

Macrophages

13
Q

Coal Worker’s Pneumoconiosis

A

Carbon is taken in from coal miners most often that results in a black lung

14
Q

Caplan Syndrome

A

Rheumatoid Arthritis associated with coal worker’s pneumoconiosis

15
Q

Anthracosis

A

Collections of carbon laden macrophages in the lungs

16
Q

Silicosis

A

Silica is taken in often in sand blasters and it impairs the formation of the phagolysosome in macrophages - the only pneumoconiosis that increases risk for TB

17
Q

Where are the fibrotic nodules from silicosis found?

A

Upper lobes of the lung

18
Q

Berylliosis

A

Beryllium in miners or aerospace workers that cause noncaseating granulomas in the lungs with increased risk for lung cancer - looks like sarcoidosis

19
Q

Asbestosis

A

Asbestos in construction, plumbers or ship builders which causes fibrosis of the lung and pleura as well as carcinoma of the lung and mesothelioma

20
Q

What will be seen on histology of asbestosis?

A

Ferruginous Bodies

21
Q

Sarcoidosis

A

Systemic disease characterized with noncaseating granulomas in multiple organs

22
Q

Who is the classical patient of sarcoidosis?

A

African American females

23
Q

What are the characteristic findings of the granulomas in sarcoidosis?

A
  • Asteroid Body

- Schaumann Body

24
Q

What are the clinical features of sarcoidosis?

A
  • Dyspnea
  • Cough
  • Elevated serum ACE
  • Hypercalcemia - excessive 1-alpha hydroxylase activity which produces more Ca2+
25
Q

Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis

A

Granulomatous reaction to inhaled organic antigens and resolves with removal from the exposure - eosinophils will be seen

26
Q

What happens with chronic hypersensitivity pneumonitis?

A

It will lead to interstitial fibrosis
