May 23, 2024 · Usual interstitial pneumonia ( UIP) is not a disease; it is a histopathologic and radiologic pattern of interstitial lung disease which can be caused by idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, fibrotic hypersensitivity pneumonitis or non-specific interstitial pneumonia. Diagnosis is typically decided by a multidisciplinary team.
The interstitial pneumonias (IPs) are a heterogeneous group of diffuse parenchymal lung diseases characterized by specific clinical, radiologic and pathologic features.
