Generally, diseases outlined within the ICD-10 codes J80-J84 within Chapter X: Diseases of the respiratory system should be included in this category. Wikimedia Commons has media related to Respiratory diseases principally affecting the interstitium .
They are suggestive for the diagnosis of congestive heart failure, but are also seen in various non-cardiac conditions such as pulmonary fibrosis, interstitial deposition of heavy metal particles or carcinomatosis of the lung. Chronic Kerley B lines may be caused by fibrosis or hemosiderin deposition caused by recurrent pulmonary edema.
Interstitial nephritis may present with a variety of signs and symptoms, many of these nonspecific. Fever is the most common, occurring in 30-50% of patients, particularly those with drug-induced interstitial nephritis. [2] Other general symptoms that occur with variable frequency include nausea, vomiting, fatigue, lack of appetite, and weight ...
Cardiac symptoms of heart failure include chest pain/pressure and palpitations.Common noncardiac signs and symptoms of heart failure include loss of appetite, nausea, weight loss, bloating, fatigue, weakness, low urine output, waking up at night to urinate, and cerebral symptoms of varying severity, ranging from anxiety to memory impairment and confusion.
2 ratio indicates reduced arterial oxygenation from the available inhaled gas): mild ARDS: 201 – 300 mmHg (≤ 39.9 kPa) moderate ARDS: 101 – 200 mmHg (≤ 26.6 kPa) severe ARDS: ≤ 100 mmHg (≤ 13.3 kPa) The Berlin definition requires a minimum positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP) of 5 cm H 2 O for consideration of the Pa O 2 /Fi O 2 ...
Other causes of pulmonary edema that require rapid intervention and should be considered first include fluid overload, brain injury, and anaphylaxis. If when considering these differentials, there is no evidence for administration of excessive fluids, no focal signs suggesting a brain injury, and so signs of allergic reaction, one can then ...

Pulmonary edema has multiple causes and is traditionally classified as cardiogenic (caused by the heart) or noncardiogenic (all other types not caused by the heart). [2] [3] Various laboratory tests (CBC, troponin, BNP, etc.) and imaging studies (chest x-ray, CT scan, ultrasound) are often used to diagnose and classify the cause of pulmonary edema.
