Interstitial Lung Diseases (ILDS)

Interstitial Lung Diseases, commonly known as ILDs, refer to a group of lung disorders that cause inflammation and scarring of the lung tissue. This scarring, called fibrosis, makes the lungs stiff and reduces their ability to transfer oxygen into the bloodstream. As the condition progresses, breathing becomes more difficult, especially during physical activity. ILDs may develop gradually or sometimes progress rapidly, depending on the cause. Early diagnosis is essential because timely treatment can slow disease progression, relieve symptoms, and improve quality of life. At NeoCare Chest and Allergy Clinic, Dr. Ankit Singhal focuses on detailed evaluation, accurate diagnosis, and long term management of ILDs to help patients maintain better lung function and daily comfort.
