2024年9月2日 · Non-specific interstitial pneumonia (NSIP) is the second most common morphological and pathological pattern of interstitial lung diseases after UIP. NSIP is commonly associated with connective tissue disease (CTD), and a multidisciplinary team best decides the underlying diagnosis and management ref.

Non-specific interstitial pneumonia can be associated with autoimmune diseases such as systemic sclerosis, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), Sjogren’s syndrome and rheumatoid arthritis. It can also be idiopathic, which means no specific cause can be identified.

Nonspecific interstitial pneumonia is an idiopathic interstitial pneumonia that occurs mainly in women 40 to 50 years of age. Patients have cough and dyspnea, which may be present for months to years. Diagnosis is with high-resolution CT and lung biopsy. Treatment is with corticosteroids and sometimes other immunosuppressive drugs.

Idiopathic Non-Specific Interstitial Pneumonia, or “idiopathic NSIP”, is a chronic lung disease in which inflammation and/or scar tissue (“fibrosis”) builds up in the walls of the air sacs of the lungs.

2023年11月16日 · NSIP is a chronic, progressive fibrotic lung disease. It correlates with characteristic histologic and radiologic patterns. It has many similarities with IPF (idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis).

2024年4月8日 · Nonspecific interstitial pneumonia (NSIP) is a chronic interstitial pneumonia (IIP) that is called "nonspecific" because it lacks the histopathologic features that characterize usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP), desquamative interstitial pneumonia (DIP), respiratory bronchiolitis-associated interstitial lung disease (RB-ILD), or acute ...
