What are the tests for interstitial pneumonia?

What are the diagnostic tests for interstitial pneumonia? At present, clinical diagnosis is mainly made through the following methods:

Pulmonary function test: Mainly restrictive ventilatory dysfunction, vital capacity and total lung capacity decrease, and residual volume decreases with the progression of the disease.

Chest imaging examination: Most patients with interstitial pulmonary disease have chest Swelling etc. HRCT (high-resolution tomography) can clearly show the detailed appearance of the lungs.

Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid examination: Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) is tested for cytology, bacteriology, biochemistry and inflammatory mediators. Based on the proportion of inflammatory immune effector cells in BALF, ILD can be classified into lymphocytosis and neutrophilia.

Lung biopsy: Lung biopsy is an important method for diagnosing interstitial pneumonia in children, and fiberoptic bronchoscopy is the first choice. Most ILD can be diagnosed through diligent efforts, including superficial lymph node, skin, and muscle biopsy. For those who still cannot be diagnosed, lung pathology should be used to confirm the diagnosis.

It is recommended that you adopt traditional Chinese medicine treatment. Traditional Chinese medicine uses medicine according to the symptoms and treats syndrome dialectically. Patients with different diseases need to take different traditional Chinese medicines, so the variety and quantity of traditional Chinese medicines must have their own characteristics. The main function of traditional Chinese medicine is to clean up the garbage in the lungs and regulate lung function. It has a certain therapeutic effect, but it can only relieve certain symptoms and cannot provide a fundamental treatment.

It is still necessary to use a combination of external treatment methods according to your own condition, such as: pulling, fumigation, moxibustion, acupuncture, "lung clearing and lung washing", "drug acupoint root cutting therapy", "drug ion therapy" "Introduction therapy" and "vagus nerve block therapy" are used together to treat both internal and external causes.

The international "vagus nerve block therapy" anti-relapse specializes in the treatment of tracheitis, chronic bronchitis, pediatric bronchitis, emphysema, asthma, bronchial asthma, pediatric asthma, allergic asthma, Wheezing asthma, cardiogenic asthma, emphysema, etc.
