A2 - Loscalzo, Joseph PY - 2018 T2 - Harrison's Principles of Internal Medicine, 20e AB - Diffuse parenchymal lung diseases include a large number (>200) of heterogeneous conditions that affect the lung parenchyma with varying degrees of inflammation and fibrosis. While remodeling of the interstitial space, the region between the epithelium and endothelium, tends to be the dominant site of involvement for most of the interstitial lung diseases (ILDs), it is important to recognize the prominent role of the alveolar epithelium and endothelial cells (including both airways and vessels) in the pathogenesis of these interstitial lung disorders.
