Proposed Pathogenesis of Diffuse Alveolar Hemorrhage in Idiopathic Pulmonary Hemosiderosis

Abstract

Idiopathic pulmonary hemosiderosis (IPH) is a rare disease that causes diffuse alveolar hemorrhage (DAH). The latest data suggests an immunologic origin of IPH, and a new name, immune mediated pulmonary hemosiderosis (ImPH), has been proposed. However, the exact immunologic mechanism has remained elusive for nearly eight decades despite extensive research, including detailed histopathologic analysis. Although several hypotheses have been proposed to describe the pathobiology of IPH, none of them explain the clinical and histopathologic findings conclusively. In this manuscript, we have presented a new hypothesis for the pathogenesis of DAH in IPH. We hypothesize that DAH in IPH is not immunocomplex mediated but due to histamine, eosinophilic cationic protein (ECP), and possibly vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). These bioactive proteins induce endothelial and alveolar epithelial damage, leading to the peri-capillary and intraalveolar escape of RBCs. The deformability of the RBC likely also plays a role. The supranormal secretion of histamine, ECP and VEGF occurs in genetically predisposed individuals with an aberrant immunologic response. The histamine is released from the basophils and possibly the mast cells in response to cytokines secreted by activated lymphocytes. The lymphocyte activation occurs after exposure to a known (gluten) or unknown antigen. The same lymphocyte-derived cytokines also induce eosinophilic degranulation of ECP and VEGF in the pulmonary circulation. We believe that our hypothesis unifies the observed clinical variabilities and histopathologic findings in IPH, and we hope that would promote future research in the field of IPH.
