Interstitial Lung Disease Treatment Market
Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is a general category that includes many different lung conditions. All
interstitial lung diseases affect the interstitium, a part of the lung's anatomic structure. The interstitium is
a lace-like network of tissues that extends throughout both lungs. The interstitium provides support to
the lung’s microscopic air sacs (alveoli). Tiny blood vessels travel through the interstitium, allowing gas
exchange between blood and the air in the lungs. The disease affects the lungs in three ways. First, the
lung tissue is damaged. Second, the interstitium becomes inflamed. Finally, fibrosis (scarring) begins in
the alveoli (air sacs) and interstitium, and the lung becomes stiff, making it difficult to breathe. Interstitial
lung disease treatment includes a diverse collection of illnesses with a variety of causes, treatments, and
prognoses. Individuals who suffer from interstitial lung disease often have difficulty breathing and moving
from place to place due to a consistent feeling of shortness of breath. Disorders classified under
interstitial lung disease are often characterized by scarring of the lung's delicate tissues and a dry,
pestering cough. Interstitial lung disease is caused by environmental factors, removing these triggers can
slow the progression of the disease and damage to the lungs.
Interstitial Lung Disease Treatment Market: Dynamics
Registries of the epidemiology of different interstitial lung disease have been compiled in several
countries. However, they remain scarce due to the difficulties that arise in obtaining a specific diagnosis
as many of these conditions are rare. More than 250,000 people have been diagnosed with interstitial
lung disease in the United States, and nearly five million people have been diagnosed worldwide. It is
estimated that more than 41,000
