# | '''Diffuse alveolar damage''', abbreviated '''DAD''', is a relatively common [[lung pathology]] that is grouped with the [[diffuse lung diseases]] and has several clinical correlates. | ||
==General== | |||
Etiology: | |||
*Abrupt hypoxemia with pulmonary infiltrates leading to epithelial cell and endothelial cell death not accompanied by cardiac failure.<ref name=Ref_PCPBoD8_364>{{Ref PCPBoD8|364}}</ref> | |||
DAD is the histologic correlate of: | |||
*Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). | |||
**[[AKA]] adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) to differentiate it from ''[[respiratory distress syndrome]]'' in infants. | |||
*Acute interstitial pneumonia (AIP). | |||
*Transfusion related acute lung injury (TRALI). | |||
The DDx is broad:<ref>{{Ref WMSP|91}}</ref> | |||
*Infection/sepsis. | |||
*Toxic (smoke, oxygen). | |||
*Drug (amiodarone, chemotherapy). | |||
*Trauma/shock. | |||
*Inflammatory. | |||
*Idiopathic. | |||
