But in interstitial lung disease, the repair process goes awry and the tissue around the air sacs (alveoli) becomes scarred and thickened. This makes it more difficult for oxygen to pass into the bloodstream. The term ILD is used to distinguish these diseases from obstructive airways diseases.

Interstitial lung disease results from a variety of causes that lead to thickening of the supporting tissue around the air sacs rather than the air sacs themselves. Interstitial lung disease usually involves all of the lungs diffusely rather than affecting only one area.

Quick Answer. Peribronchial thickening, also known as peribronchial cuffing, is a term used to describe a hazy radiologic appearance that results from excess fluid or mucus build-up, according to Radiopaedia.org. This build-up happens in the lung's small airway passages and results in patches of collapsed lung.

Interstitial lung disease facts. Interstitial lung disease includes a group of diseases that have thickening of the supporting tissues between the air sacs of the lungs. The cause is not known (idiopathic). The most common symptoms of interstitial lung disease are a dry cough and shortness of breath.

Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) is an interstitial lung disease characterized by chronic inflammation, accompanied by an uncontrolled healing response that causes progressive scarring or thickening (fibrosis) of tissues between the lung's alveoli, or air sacs.

There are over 100 known causes of interstitial lung disease and pulmonary fibrosis, which include familial and genetic disorders, inhaled substances, infections, medications, and connective tissue diseases.

The cause of IPF is unknown, although the body's own immune response seems to play a major role. Recent data suggest approximately 28 cases per 100,000 population. The usual age at diagnosis is between 40 and 70, but often there is X-ray evidence of disease two to five years before the diagnosis is made.

Dr. Paxton Daniel Dr. Daniel. Upper limit: Of normal for bladder thickness is 5-6 mm. Thickening can occur from multiple causes. From your symptoms i would suspect increased internal bladder pressure from prostate enlargement (causing the wall to thicken) or inflammation/infection of the bladder (cystitis). A urologist can help sort this out.

Interstitial lung disease. Interstitial lung disease (ILD), or diffuse parenchymal lung disease (DPLD), is a group of lung diseases affecting the interstitium (the tissue and space around the air sacs of the lungs). It concerns alveolar epithelium, pulmonary capillary endothelium, basement membrane, perivascular and perilymphatic tissues.

As peribronchial thickening is a sign of an underlying problem, as opposed to a condition or symptom, treatment focuses on the underlying cause of the lung thickening, according to Wikipedia.

causes of interstitial thickening
The causes of interstitial thickening are familial and genetic disorders, inhaled substances, infections, medications, and connective tissue diseases. Familial and genetic disorders, inhaled substances, infections, medications, and connective tissue diseases are the causes of interstitial thickening.
