Pneumoconiosis CT manifestations

Many hard front-line jobs are not only physically taxing, but also prone to occupational diseases. For example, pneumoconiosis is a disease caused by working in a harsh environment for a long time. It is divided into stage one and stage two, and can often be discovered through examinations. What are the CT manifestations of pneumoconiosis? Patients with pneumoconiosis will have symptoms of coughing, shortness of breath and difficulty breathing, which can only be improved through medication. Although it cannot be cured, it can be controlled.

In our daily life, we should follow the correct method to deal with diseases. We should conduct relevant examinations before dealing with diseases. Next, we will briefly introduce to you what are the CT manifestations of pneumoconiosis?

If pneumoconiosis has no specific manifestations on the CT film, it must be diagnosed in combination with the history of working with dust, clinical cough, shortness of breath, and difficulty breathing, plus taking an X-ray. The diagnosis of pneumoconiosis requires going to a specialized medical institution to confirm it.

First of all, patients suffering from pneumoconiosis can be treated with drug therapy. This method of treatment mainly prevents the deposition of dust in the lungs, thereby increasing abdominal function. After a period of treatment, it can not only reduce the toxicity of dust to cells and protect alveolar macrophages, but also prevent the destruction of biofilms.

It can also decompose collagen, polysaccharides, lipoproteins and other substances in the already formed silicotic lesions to a certain extent, thereby inhibiting the damage and fibrosis of lung tissue caused by white blood cells.

After drug treatment, patients should also undergo comprehensive treatment for complications, because pneumoconiosis is a chronic occupational disease. The course of this disease is generally long, and patients often have other diseases while suffering from this disease.

Therefore, if you want to prevent the condition of pneumoconiosis patients from worsening, you should promptly treat other complications, such as tuberculosis, respiratory insufficiency, and nonspecific lung infections. Only when these complications are treated at the same time can the patient's disease be cured.

However, if the patient's condition is already quite serious, then the patient can be treated with lung transplantation. Although this treatment method is difficult and not only is the cost extremely high, but the source of donors is also quite difficult, if the patient's condition is already quite serious, then other treatment methods will have no effect, and the patient can only choose this method for treatment.

I hope that through the above specific analysis and introduction, everyone can better treat and improve pneumoconiosis. In daily life, you can eat more lung-clearing foods, which will help alleviate the symptoms of pneumoconiosis.
