Imaging aspects of interstitial lung disease in patients with rheumatoid arthritis: Literature review
Autoimmunity Reviews | Dec 04, 2017
Balbir-Gurman A, et al. - This study offers information regarding chest computed tomography (CT-c) or high-resolution CT (HRCT) findings in patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD)-rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Researchers reviewed the relevant literature data wherein, ILD-RA was suggested as a part of a general autoimmune inflammation and recommended to be included in the decision-making process for the treatment of RA. Furthermore, they realized an unmet need to design an algorithm which will permit the prediction of CT-c changes compatible with ILD-RA with a high probability and will enable treating patients with ILD-RA early, with possible halting of the progression of ILD-RA toward pulmonary fibrosis.
