What is Non Specific Interstitial Pneumonia?

Non Specific Interstitial Pneumonia (NSIP) is a type of interstitial lung disease (ILD) characterized by inflammation and fibrosis of the lung's interstitial tissue. Unlike other forms of ILD, NSIP is distinguished by its uniform histological appearance and lack of specific pathological features. It is often considered in the differential diagnosis of idiopathic interstitial pneumonias.
