Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD)

Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD) refers to a group of lung disorders that cause inflammation and scarring of the lung tissues, leading to breathing difficulty and reduced oxygen levels. At Vizag Healthcare, Maharani Peta, Visakhapatnam, we provide comprehensive evaluation and treatment for patients experiencing persistent breathlessness, dry cough, fatigue, or reduced exercise capacity. Our aim is to diagnose ILD early and slow down its progression with timely care.

ILD can be caused by various factors such as autoimmune conditions, environmental exposure, smoking, infections, or sometimes unknown reasons. To identify the exact type, our specialists use advanced diagnostic tools including HRCT chest scans, pulmonary function tests, blood investigations, and in selected cases, bronchoscopy. Understanding the cause and pattern of lung damage helps us create the most effective treatment plan for each patient.

Treatment may include anti-inflammatory medications, antifibrotic therapy, inhalers, oxygen support, and pulmonary rehabilitation depending on the severity of the condition. Our team also guides patients on lifestyle modifications, trigger avoidance, breathing exercises, and long-term monitoring. We ensure that every patient receives personalized and scientifically proven care to maintain better lung function.

ILD requires regular follow-up to prevent complications and track disease progression. At Vizag Healthcare in Maharani Peta, Visakhapatnam, we provide ongoing support, counseling, and clear guidance to help patients manage their symptoms and live a more comfortable, active life. If you are facing unexplained breathlessness or chronic cough, early evaluation at our center can make a significant difference in your long-term lung health.
