Abstract. Background: Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) and Sarcoidosis are distinct clinical entities. Fibrotic disease in pulmonary sarcoidosis is typically upper lobe predominant. In IPF fibrosis is basilar and peripheral predominant [usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP) pattern].
Interstitial lung disease refers to a group of about 100 chronic lung disorders characterized by inflammation and scarring that make it hard for the lungs to get enough oxygen. The scarring is called pulmonary fibrosis. The symptoms and course of these diseases may vary from person to person.
Causes of pulmonary fibrosis include environmental pollutants, some medicines, some connective tissue diseases, and interstitial lung disease. Interstitial lung disease is the name for a large group of diseases that inflame or scar the lungs. In most cases, the cause cannot be found.
Mayo Clinic defines Pulmonary Fibrosis as lung disease that occurs when lung tissue becomes damaged and scarred. If the scarring is an imaging finding then that will be integral to the actual condition of fibrosis, so only code J84. 10 will be needed.
As pulmonary fibrosis worsens, you become progressively more short of breath. The scarring associated with pulmonary fibrosis can be caused by a multitude of factors. But in most cases, doctors can't pinpoint what's causing the problem. When a cause can't be found, the condition is termed idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.
There are two categories of NSIP: cellular and fibrotic. Fibrotic NSIP is the type that is associated with pulmonary fibrosis and occurs when the inflammation of the alveoli walls is accompanied by tissue thickening and scarring. Prognosis for both types of NSIP is usually very positive.
There are over 200 different types of PF and in most cases, there's no known cause.
Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is another term for pulmonary fibrosis, which means “scarring” and “inflammation” of the interstitium (the tissue that surrounds the lung's air sacs, blood vessels and airways). This scarring makes the lung tissue stiff, which can make breathing difficult.
ICD-10-CM Code for Interstitial pulmonary disease, unspecified J84. 9.
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis belongs to a group of conditions called interstitial lung diseases (also known as ILD), which describes lung diseases that involve inflammation or scarring in the lung.
