ASSAYAG, Deborah; LEE, Joyce S. e KING, JR., Talmadge E.. Rheumatoid arthritis associated interstitial lung disease: a review. Medicina (B. Aires) [online]. 2014, vol.74, n.2, pp.158-165. ISSN 0025-7680.
Rheumatoid arthritis is a common inflammatory disease affecting about 1% of the population. Interstitial lung disease is a serious and frequent complication of rheumatoid arthritis. Rheumatoid arthritis associated interstitial lung disease (RA-ILD) is characterized by several histopathologic subtypes. This article reviews the proposed pathogenesis and risk factors for RA-ILD. We also outline the important steps involved in the work-up of RA-ILD and review the evidence for treatment and prognosis.
