Restrictive Lung Disease

Restrictive lung disease is characterized by total lung capacity,  because of changes in lung parenchyma or disease of the pleura, chest wall, or neuromuscular apparatus. Restrictive lung disease accompanied with impaired gas exchange if it is caused by parenchymal lung disease, which can be characterized clinically by desaturation after exercise.

Based on anatomical structures, many disorders that cause a reduction of lung volumes can be divided into two groups.

First, it is basic lung disease or disease of the lung parenchyma. Diseases cause inflammation of lung tissue or result in filling of the airspace around the exudate and debris. These diseases can be characterized assuming  the etiological causes. These include idiopathic fibrotic diseases, connective tissue diseases, lung disease’s drugs, and the most important diseases of the lungs.

Secondly  is the external disturbance or extraparenchymal disease. Chest wall, pleura and respiratory muscles are the components of the respiratory pump, and they usually need an effective ventilation function. Diseases caused by these structures lung restriction, respiratory dysfunctions, and respiratory failure.

Restrictive lung disease is a chronic disease that causes a limited ability breathing, and sometimes makes it difficult to have enough oxygen to get the needs. Common restrictive lung diseases are:

Pulmonary fibrosis or interstitial lung disease, including granulomatous disease and sarcoidosis.

Extrapulmonary restrictive lung disease, including scoliosis.

People with a restrictive lung disease may not fill their lungs with air. Expand the lungs are fully restricted.

Restrictive lung disease is usually the result of a condition that causes stiff lung itself. In other cases, whereby the rigidity of the chest, weakness or nerve damage, reduced pulmonary function expansion.
