What is ground-glass opacity in the lungs?

Once nodules appear in the human lungs, ground-glass shadows will form in the lungs. This disease is very difficult to treat, so patients should choose a regular hospital for treatment. CT examination can accurately understand the condition and determine the location and size of the lung nodules. This examination is of great help in finding the cause of the disease. So what is ground-glass shadows in the lungs?

First, what disease is the ground-glass shadow in the lungs ? It may be pneumonia, which is caused by inflammation between the alveolar interstitium and can often develop into pulmonary fibrosis, mainly manifested by progressive cough, shortness of breath and other symptoms. Related to the body's immunity. Suggestions: 1. Pay attention to rest, enhance resistance, do not eat spicy and irritating food, and maintain an optimistic attitude. 2. Go to the hospital for further examination to confirm the diagnosis and take oral azithromycin and ambroxol. Nebulizer inhalation brings good health.

Second, ground-glass changes in the lungs are mainly due to reduced alveolar gas content , a relative increase in the number of cells, thickening of the alveolar septa, and partial filling of the terminal airways. Therefore, ground-glass opacity is only a medical imaging description, and ground-glass opacity can be caused by various reasons, such as inflammatory lesions, focal fibrosis, atypical adenomatous hyperplasia (AAH), alveolar hemorrhage, etc.

Third, the type of ground-glass nodules in the lungs. Typical ground-glass opacity is a non-solid nodule with clear edges of normal anatomical structures (such as blood vessels) inside. But it never disappears. GGN lesions are often lung cancer or precancerous lesions. Retrospective studies of a large number of GGN cases have shown that surgical resection has satisfactory results and a zero recurrence rate. Atypical adenomatous hyperplasia and adenocarcinoma in situ usually appear pure.

What disease is the ground-glass shadow in the lungs ? It may be chronic pharyngitis or pulmonary tuberculosis. Chronic pharyngitis often causes symptoms such as sore throat, itchy throat, cough and sputum. Judging from the results of the lung examination, the possibility of pulmonary tuberculosis is relatively high and it is appropriate to treat it as soon as possible. Suggestions: Pharyngitis requires the use of some medicines such as Liyan Jiedu Granules and Cefuroxime Capsules. After the diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis is confirmed, some anti-tuberculosis drugs are needed for treatment. Generally, it takes more than one year of treatment to be cured.
