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.
