Q

What is the definitive dx of asbestosis but is not usually indicated

Study These Flashcards
A

open-lung biopsy

24
Q

Which dz?

CXR- opacities in lower lungs, _pleural plaques*_

25
What 4 things suggest diagnosis of asbestosis?
consistent history, physical findings, sxs and CXR
26
Asbestosis- what do PFTs look like?
decreased TLC FEV1/FVC ratio normal = restrictive (PFTs to follow dz progress)
27
T/F: there is no effective therapy for Asbestosis?
True. The goal is to stop progression
28
T/F: lung damage in Asbestosis is reversible
FALSE damage is IRREVERSIBLE
29
\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ + smoking= 59x more likely to get lung CA
asbestosis
30
What dz gives you an elevated risk for mesothelioma
Asbestosis | (b/c of asbestos exposure)
31
Which dz has **noncaseating granulomas**?
Sarcoidosis
32
Which disease? - multisystem inflammatory dz (unknown etiology) - 30-60 y/o African American female - noncaseating granulomas - Hilar adenopathy - elevated ACE
Sarcoidosis
33
Which dz? - asymptomatic to multisystem dz * (F, anorexia, arthralgias, dyspnea on exertion, cranial nerve palsies, erythema nodusum, etc) - can have spont. resolution, 1/3 develop chronic dz
Sarcoidosis
34
Which disease shows the following on CXR depending on the stage? stage 0=normal 1- **hilar adenopathy** 2- **hilar adeopathy**+ diffuse infiltrates 3- only diffuse infiltrates 4- pulmonary fibrosis
Sarcoidosis
35
What do PFTs show in sarcoidosis?
Isolated decreased DLCO Restrictive pattern w/ advanced dz
36
**MC pattern of what in which disease?** Bilateral symmetric hilar and right paratracheal mediastinal adenopathy
MC pattern of **lymphadenopathy in sarcoidosis**
37
Labs for which dz show the following: * hypercalcemia * elevated ESR * Elevated serum protein (excess immunoglobulins) * **_elevated ACE_**
Sarcoidosis
38
Diagnosis of Sarcoidosis usually requires what in most cases?
Biopsy: Fiberoptic bronchoscopy w/ transbronchial biopsy
39
How do you dx sarcoidosis (3 things)

Granulomatosis w/ polyangiitis
44
What do PFTs in Granulomatosis w/ Polyangiitis look like?

46
Which dz would you see **irregular and stellate-shaped** peripheral pulmonary arteries on CT?
Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis
47
Which dz has the following lab results? * **elevated ESR** * **elevated BUN/Cr**, **proteinuria** (if renal involvement) * **+ANCA** (Antineutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibodies), usually C-ANCA
Granulomatosis w/ Polyangiitis
48
Which dz has **histopathologic evidence of vasculitis and granulomatous inflammation?**
Granulomatosis w/ Polyangiitis
49
Management of which dz: 1. Refer to **Rheumatologist** * may tx w/ **immunosuppressant** (cyclophosphamide) and **glucocorticoid** what is prognosis?
**Granulomatosis w/ Polyangiitis** | (prognosis is 80% w/ cyclophosphamide)
50
Which is MC of the 7 idiopathic interstitial pneumonias?
Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis
51
Which dz? * inflammation & fibrosis of lung parenchyma * **no specific findings-** dx after excluding other causes of ILD * **60 y/o male** * **smoker**
Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis
52
which dz? CXR: Bilateral diffuse **_reticular or reticulonodular infiltrates_**, periphery & bases
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
53
Which dz has insidious onset: **_exertional dyspnea_** and **nonproductive cough**
Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis
54
What does idopathic pulmonary fibrosis show on HRCT?
reticular opacities
55
Histopathology of which dz? predominantly **fibrosis** and **scant numbers of inflammatory cells**
**Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis** (this is how you distinguish from interstitial pneumonia)
56
What is the management for Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis?
1. Consult p**ulmonologist** (no tx) 2. Eval for **lung transplant** (MC indication for lung transplant)
57
Possible tx of which dz? **Azithromycin (macrolide) + Ethambutol + Rifampin** usually **x15-18mo** (until sputum cultures consecutively neg for at least 12 months)
**MAC pulmonary disease** (not all patients need tx at time of dx- hard to tolerate, may decide to monitor closely instead)
