Pulmonary Fibrosis: Everything You Need to Know

Feb 28, 2018 6:18:37 AM / by Duke Reeves posted in Respiratory Resource Center, oxygen therapy

1 Comment

Pulmonary fibrosis is a complicated, incurable disease that affects the lungs of nearly 140 thousand Americans. It happens when chronic inflammation or irritants cause damage to the lungs and leave scarred, non-functional lung tissue behind.

This irreversible scarring severely reduces lung function and causes people with the disease to have difficulty breathing and absorbing oxygen. Doctors often find the root cause of pulmonary fibrosis difficult to diagnose, since there are many potential factors, including underlying disease, that can cause progressive scarring to the lungs.

Although there is no real cure for pulmonary fibrosis, there are a variety of medicines and treatments available to help those living with the disease. Proper treatment and healthy lifestyle habits can reduce uncomfortable symptoms, improve patients' quality of life, and even slow down the progression of the disease.
