Evaluation of Novel Lung Function Parameters in Patients With Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD)

Conditions
Sarcoidosis
Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis
Pulmonary Healthy Controls
Interstitial Lung Disease
Non-specific Interstitial Pneumonia
Granulomatosis With Polyangiitis (Wegener's Disease)
Interventions
Device: multiple breath washout tests
Device: impulse oscillometry
Device: body plethysmography
Registration Number
NCT02827734
Lead Sponsor
Universitätsmedizin Mannheim
Brief Summary

Current diagnostic tools used in interstitial lung disease (ILD) do not meet the challenges set by the complex pathophysiology of this heterogenous group. The investigators therefore aimed to evaluate novel or not widely used diagnostic approaches for the detection and therapeutic monitoring of patients with various ILDs.
