Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is an inflammatory disease of the interstitial lungs of unknown cause. Unexplained alveolar fibrosis and diffuse interstitial pulmonary fibrosis are synonyms. Typical IPF is mainly manifested by dry cough and progressive dyspnea, which gradually worsens over months or years, and often progresses to terminal respiratory failure or death within 3 to 8 years of symptom onset. The main pathological features are the mixed presence of fibrosis and inflammatory cell infiltration in the interstitial lungs and alveolar cavities. Although the pathogenesis of the disease has not been fully elucidated, its clinical features and pathology are sufficient to indicate that this is a characteristic disease. There is still a lack of objective and decisive prognostic factors or treatment responses in the treatment of IPF. Corticosteroids (hereinafter referred to as hormones) or immunosuppressants and cytotoxic drugs are still its main treatment drugs, but less than 30% of patients have treatment responses, and toxic and side effects may occur.
