Interstitial lung disease, drug induced. Interstitial pneumonia. Clinical Information. A diverse group of lung diseases that affect the lung parenchyma. They are characterized by an initial inflammation of pulmonary alveoli that extends to the interstitium and beyond leading to diffuse pulmonary fibrosis.
Interstitial lung disease is the name for a large group of diseases that inflame or scar the lungs. The inflammation and scarring make it hard to get enough oxygen. The scarring is called pulmonary fibrosis.breathing in dust or other particles in the air are responsible for some types of interstitial lung diseases.
silicosis, from inhaling silica dust. other causes include autoimmune diseases or occupational exposures to molds, gases, or fumes. Some types of interstitial lung disease have no known cause.treatment depends on the type of exposure and the stage of the disease.
Right lower lobe consolidation. Right lower lobe consolidation refers to consolidation in part (incomplete) or all (complete) of the right lower lobe.
It must be remembered that the homogeneity of the consolidation will be influenced by any underlying lung disease. Occasionally with complete lobar consolidation, there may be an increased volume of the affected lobe, rather than the more frequent collapse.
Lobar consolidation is the representative pattern of lobar pneumonia. The lobar pneumonia is one of the two morphologic classifications of pneumonia (the other being bronchopneumonia). Lobar consolidation in lobar pneumonia tends to be located at the middle and outer thirds of the lung. Remy J. Fleischner Society: glossary ...
Just a peek at the mind of a coder. Some in the industry may view the statement of "consolidation of right or left lung noted on imaging" as what we used to refer to as a "finding" or "finding without a diagnoses". Auditors would likely try to make up some reason for taking that off with what ever the argument de jour of the day is as well "not clearly documented", "inconsistent", "lacking in the documentation of the clinical significance" etc. If it appears appropriate to report lobar pneumonia more "MEAT" is needed I think.
