Interstitial lung disease

A group of conditions that scar the lungs. Careful diagnosis matters more here than anywhere.

Interstitial lung disease is complicated — the diagnosis matters as much as the treatment.

What is it?

Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is a group of conditions that cause scarring (fibrosis) in the lungs. That scarring makes the lungs stiffer and makes it harder for oxygen to reach your bloodstream.

Signs to watch for

  • Shortness of breath — often even at rest
  • A dry cough that doesn't go away

How we treat it

ILD needs careful evaluation to find the cause and the right plan. The team uses breathing tests and imaging to understand your specific situation and manage it over time.
