Pirfenex 200mg

Meaning of IPF

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a type of lung disease, which results in scarring of the lings. The term “pulmonary fibrosis” means scarring of lung tissue and is the reason for exacerbating dyspnea (breathing difficult).

Generally, the reasons for lung scarring are unknown and referred to as Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis. With IPF, doctors speculate that something inside the lungs constantly attacks them for a long time. These attacks damage the lungs and destroy the tissue between the air sacs. Factors, which can enhances the risk of IPF are: smoking, virus, environmental pollution, bacteria and animal proteins, as well as gases and fumes.
