Increased lung textures, what is going on with increased lung textures

1. Increased texture in both lungs: It can be seen in many conditions, such as smokers, people with cough, and tracheitis, which is not a serious condition.

2. Multiple small lymph nodes should be in the mediastinum: lymph nodes with calcification may have suffered from pulmonary tuberculosis in the past. Multiple small lymph nodes need to be analyzed according to the patient's condition, such as tumors, acute inflammation, etc., which can cause lymphadenopathy, but most of them are not calcified.

3. Calcification of the aortic coronary artery wall: This is a manifestation of atherosclerosis in patients, and there is nothing wrong with it, and many elderly people have it.

4. There is no thickening of the pleura, which is normal.

5. It is also the most critical place: the right anterior mediastinal (not longitudinal and horizontal) banded slightly hyperdense shadow. The anterior mediastinum has many organs.

In the case you mentioned, it is necessary to exclude a mass (benign or malignant tumor) in the first place, especially if there is lymphadenopathy in the mediastinum, and it is important to take care to exclude the tumor. For example, thymus, lymphoma, teratoma, etc. can all grow in the anterior mediastinum, each with its own characteristics.

Recommendation: Chest CT is performed to check for anterior mediastinal lesions.

Hello, the old man should be coronary heart disease and should do coronary angiography instead of enhanced CT.

Methods for coronary artery disease include medications, reperfusion (thrombolysis, heart bypass surgery, and heart stent surgery), and heart transplantation. The choice of which method is based on the results of coronary angiography.

Little sister, you don't need to be polite. :)

(1) Increased bronchial lung markings: manifested as uneven thickness of lung markings, which are often mixed with deformation textures and small honeycomb shadows, which are common in chronic bronchitis and bronchiectasis.

2) Increased vascular lung markings: The lung markings are coarse, and the characteristics of maintaining blood vessels from the hilum to the lungs are often accompanied by the manifestations of heart enlargement, mainly seen in wind heart disease, congenital heart disease, etc.

3) Increased lymphoid lung markings: lung textures are thin reticulated in both lungs, which are common in pneumoconiosis, carcinomatous lymphangitis, etc.

4) Increased pulmonary markings: Showing increased lung markings in both lungs, but walking normally, mainly due to anthractopia caused by long-term smoking.

5) Increased physiological lung markings: mainly seen in the elderly and obese people. The former is due to the relatively abundant lung interstitium in the elderly, which shows an increase in lung markings on chest X-ray, while the latter is due to the increase in X-ray absorption due to the subject's obesity and increased subcutaneous fat, resulting in an increase in lung markings on chest X-ray.

X-rays are light rays that are invisible to the naked eye and are able to penetrate a person's body and sensitize photographic film. Due to the different degrees of light transmission of various tissues in the human body, the light-sensitive images of the film have different shades, thus showing the internal structure. X-rays pass through the chest, trachea, blood vessels, and lymphatic vessels, and show dendritic shadows on a fluorescent screen or **.

It extends outward from the hilum and becomes thinner and thinner, ending at the edges of both lungs. In this regard, there is a special term in radiology called lung texture.

When the trachea, which makes up lung markings, becomes inflamed and blood vessels thicken and congested, lung markings become stronger or thicker. The common causes of thickening of lung markings are: acute and chronic bronchitis, bronchiectasis, congenital multiple pulmonary cysts, atrial septal defect, ventricular septal defect, patent ductus arteriosus, rheumatic heart disease based on mitral stenosis, heart failure, lymphocytic leukemia, interstitial pneumonia, collagen disease, lung damage caused by harmful gases and trauma.

However, there are obvious individual differences in the morphology and distribution of lung textures, some are coarser and some are thinner. Due to different conditions, some are blurry, and some are clearer; Doctors do not have the same criteria, such as pulmonary fibrosis and other diseases that may cause these symptoms. In cases where it is not possible to define, the term interstitial alteration appears on the patient's diagnosis.

Increasing lung markings is fine, but if the lung markings are thickened and blurred, it is a sign of pneumonia.

The dangers of increased lung markings are as follows:

Increased lung markings mean increased fibrosis and inflammatory infiltration, which can be caused by a variety of causes, including chronic bronchitis, bronchiectasis, tuberculosis, pneumoconiosis, silicosis, smoking, and more. This phenomenon can be transient, as in the case of an attack of bronchial inflammation, caused by congestion and edema of the lung tissue due to inflammation, or permanent, as in silicosis. If you don't usually have a history of chronic cough, just a cold, and the chest X-ray shows thickened lung textures, that's okay, it will recover after **.

Otherwise, it may be permanent, indicating that the lung tissue has been damaged and is difficult to recover.

The specific pathological analysis is as follows: Disease analysis: bronchial lung texture changes: the main pathology is the thickening of the bronchial wall and the inflammation of the surrounding interstitium, such as chronic bronchitis, bronchiectasis, etc.

Suggestions: Vascular lung texture changes: mainly caused by pulmonary congestion and pulmonary congestion, pulmonary congestion is more common in congenital heart disease with left-to-right shunt, such as atrial septal defect, ventricular septal defect, etc.

Develop good living habits, adjust your diet, and wear a mask when going out in bad weather.

The lungs are delicate and moisturizing. Usually you can eat some products that moisturize yin and dryness. Such as lilies, honey, pears, etc. But it also has to be based on your actual situation.
