Treatment for Interstitial Lung Disease
Not only does rheumatoid arthritis (RA) affect the joints, but
it can also lead to complications of other organs, including the
lungs. Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune condition char
acterized by progressive deterioration of body joints. Interstitial
lung disease (ILD) is the most common type of lung condition
that can develop as a result of severe RA. The condition is char
acterized by scarring of lung tissue, which leads to difficulty
getting an adequate amount of oxygen to the bloodstream.
Symptoms of ILD include a cough and difficulty breathing.
There may not be any symptoms during the early stages of ILD.
During the late stages, respiratory failure may occur. The condi
tion is diagnosed by a combination of assessment of symptoms,
tests to assess lung function, and a special type of computed
tomography (CT) scan.
It is essential for smokers to quit smoking, because smoking
is a risk factor for ILD that is preventable. Prednisolone
(Orapred) is a glucocorticoid that may be prescribed as initial
treatment for ILD. This medication works to decrease inflam
mation and also suppresses the immune system. Cyclophopha-
mide and azathioprine (Imuran) are immunosuppressive medi
cations that my be taken at the same time as prednisolone for
the treatment of ILD.
