CTD-ILD

Best CTD-ILD Doctor in Jaipur
What is CTD-ILD ?

CTD-ILD (Connective Tissue Disease–Associated Interstitial Lung Disease) refers to a group of disorders in which the immune system attacks the body’s connective tissues — including the lungs. Over time, this inflammation can cause fibrosis (scarring), reducing the lungs’ ability to transfer oxygen to the bloodstream.

CTD-ILD is most often linked with:

  • Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA)

  • Systemic Sclerosis (Scleroderma)

  • Polymyositis and Dermatomyositis

  • Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE)

  • Sjögren’s Syndrome

  • Mixed Connective Tissue Disease (MCTD)

Each patient’s presentation is unique, so specialized care from an expert like Dr. Aadhaar Dhooria is crucial for accurate diagnosis and optimal treatment.

Common Symptoms of CTD-ILD

Symptoms of CTD-ILD can develop gradually or progress rapidly. Early identification can prevent permanent lung damage. Typical symptoms include:

 

  • Persistent dry cough

  • Shortness of breath (especially during exertion)

  • Chest discomfort or tightness

  • Fatigue and weakness

  • Unexplained weight loss

If left untreated, CTD-ILD can lead to severe breathing difficulties and reduced oxygen levels.

Treatment of CTD-ILD

The goal of treatment is to control inflammation, slow fibrosis progression, and improve breathing function. Dr. Dhooria follows international protocols while ensuring individualized care. Treatment options include:

 

  • Corticosteroids to reduce inflammation

  • Immunosuppressive medications (e.g., mycophenolate mofetil, azathioprine, cyclophosphamide)

  • Antifibrotic therapy (such as nintedanib or pirfenidone) to prevent further scarring

  • Oxygen therapy and pulmonary rehabilitation for symptom relief

  • Regular follow-ups for lung function monitoring and disease management

With timely intervention, patients can achieve better control over their symptoms and maintain an improved quality of life.
