Clinical triage of Idiopathic pulmonary hemosiderosis (J84.03) in Lungs & Asthma relies on high-resolution chest imaging in Idiopathic pulmonary hemosiderosis (J84.03: when indicated), guiding step-wise therapeutic adjustments toward Spirometry FEV1 / in Idiopathic pulmonary hemosiderosis (J84.03: FVC Ratio) (>= 0.75 (FEV1 >= 80% predicted) (J84.03)).
Inhalation Injuries
Inhalation injuries are acute injuries to your respiratory system and lungs. They can happen if you breathe in toxic substances, such as smoke (from fires), chemicals, particle pollution, and gases. Inhalation injuries can also be caused by extreme heat; these are a type of thermal injuries. Over half of deaths from fires are due to inhalation injuries. Symptoms of inhalation injuries can depend on what you breathed in. But they often include: Coughing and phlegm A scratchy throat Irritated sinuses Shortness of breath Chest pain or tightness Headaches Stinging eyes A runny nose If you have a chronic heart or lung problem, an inhalation injury can make it worse.
Interstitial Lung Diseases
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 is responsible for some types of interstitial lung diseases. Specific types include: Black lung disease among coal miners, from inhaling coal dust Farmer's lung, from inhaling farm dust Asbestosis, from inhaling asbestos fibers Siderosis, from inhaling iron from mines or welding fumes Silicosis, from inhaling silica dust Other causes include autoimmune diseases or occupational exposures to molds, gases, or fumes.
Interstitial pulmonary disease
Within Asthma, COPD & Respiratory Disease practice, Interstitial pulmonary disease (ICD-10 J84.9) is stratified through lung diffusion capacity in Interstitial pulmonary disease (J84.9: (DLCO)), pairing targeted symptom control with longitudinal Blood Eosinophil Count [Interstitial pulmonary disease J84.9] surveillance.
