Abstract
Interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) are a heterogeneous group of diseases characterised by varying degrees of fibrotic and/or inflammatory abnormalities of the lung parenchyma. Management of ILD is often challenging for non-respiratory physicians. We discuss the respiratory assessment and management of patients with ILD presenting with acute breathlessness on the acute take, including acute exacerbations of ILD. © Royal College of Physicians 2021.
