Description
Interdisciplinary Rheumatology: Rheumatology and Pulmonology 1st Edition
Interdisciplinary Rheumatology: Rheumatology and Pulmonology, 1st Edition is a specialized, clinically focused reference that explores the close interplay between rheumatic diseases and pulmonary involvement. Designed for rheumatologists, pulmonologists, internists, radiologists, and postgraduate trainees, this book emphasizes an integrated, multidisciplinary approach to the diagnosis and management of systemic autoimmune and inflammatory diseases affecting the lungs.
This first edition provides comprehensive coverage of pulmonary manifestations in rheumatologic conditions, including interstitial lung disease (ILD), pulmonary hypertension, pleural disease, airway involvement, and infectious complications associated with immunosuppression. Key diseases discussed include rheumatoid arthritis, systemic sclerosis, idiopathic inflammatory myopathies, systemic lupus erythematosus, vasculitides, sarcoidosis, and spondyloarthropathies.
A major strength of this book is its focus on shared pathophysiology and immune mechanisms linking rheumatology and pulmonology. It clearly explains how autoimmunity, chronic inflammation, fibrosis, and vascular injury contribute to lung disease, helping clinicians recognize early pulmonary involvement and initiate timely intervention.
The text emphasizes diagnostic strategies and interdisciplinary decision-making, covering clinical assessment, high-resolution CT (HRCT), pulmonary function testing, bronchoscopy, and relevant laboratory investigations. Practical guidance is provided on treatment strategies, including the use of immunosuppressive agents, biologics, antifibrotic therapies, and supportive pulmonary care, with careful attention to safety and monitoring.
Written by experts in rheumatology and pulmonology, the content reflects current evidence, consensus recommendations, and real-world clinical practice. Tables, imaging examples, algorithms, and key-point summaries enhance clarity and make the book a valuable reference for both daily clinical use and academic learning.
