Histopathological Patterns of Interstitial Lung Disease: A Multidisciplinary Approach to Distinguishing the Most Common Forms of Lung Fibrosis
| Overview / Abstract: |
Patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD) continue to suffer unacceptable delays in diagnosis and treatment initiation. Making an early and accurate diagnosis of ILD and its cause is key to initiating appropriate treatment and improving patient outcomes. This activity will use a case-based approach to address knowledge and practice gaps in ILD presentations and diagnoses, as well as to show the importance of a multidisciplinary care team for accurately diagnosing and monitoring ILD and providing and enhancing patient support. Educational Objectives - At the conclusion of this activity, participants should be able to demonstrate the ability to: - Recognize the clinical features of ILD and differentiate histological patterns of lung fibrosis common in IPF, CTD-ILD, and chronic HP, distinguishing IPF from other pulmonary conditions - Recognize the importance and limitations of multidisciplinary discussion in the diagnosis of fibrotic interstitial lung diseases |
