Hi, I understand your concerns regarding your mother's health. Rheumatoid Arthritis is commonly associated with UIP pattern ILD which is evident in the HRCT reports. This is a progressive disease with a poor outcome but can be controlled on proper medication. She may need antifibrotics and inhalers for symptom management and to prevent episodes of worsening leading to hospitalisation and injectable medications.
Next Steps
Get an online consultation for complete evaluation for Pulmonary pathology. Rheumatology opinion is also advised for RA.
