Close Anonymous Unfriend Friend Requested Friend Load More Close Destination Page Area Group Destination Content Title Title Article Type Copy comments Desquamative interstitial pneumonia (DIP) is almost exclusively seen in smokers or ex smokers. If stop smoking, prognosis is good. Hi everyone, I had a PFT on 9/10. The FEV1 was 70%. I don't use oxygen or inhalers, not short of breath + O2 sats 95-98. Had what I thought was a chest CT, but it turned out to be a spine CT (follow up for fx T12 after a fall). Anyway, I saw a pulmonologist afterwards. She said she could see about half the lungs and that I have moderate COPD with mild emphysema. Lines in the right lung might represent DIP and ordered another PFT + chest CT to be done 3 months out from my quit smoking date which means I will be getting the tests in December. Then follow up with the pulmonologist again. Really scary stuff! Anyone have or know someone with DIP?
