Welcome to our Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD) clinic! We are dedicated to providing compassionate and expert care to patients with a wide range of ILDs. Our team of experienced and specialized healthcare professionals includes pulmonologists, respiratory therapists, nurses, and social workers who work together to offer comprehensive evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment of ILDs.
What is Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD)?
ILD is a group of chronic lung diseases that affect the tissue and space around the air sacs in the lungs, called the interstitium. This leads to inflammation, scarring, and thickening of the lung tissue, which can result in breathing difficulties, coughing, and fatigue. There are many types of ILD, including idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), sarcoidosis, and connective tissue disease-associated ILD (CTD-ILD), post Covid lung fibrosis among others.
