Familial Pulmonary Fibrosis explained
Familial pulmonary fibrosis means that there are several cases of pulmonary fibrosis in the same family (among blood relatives). I discuss this situation, genetic predisposition, telomeres and telomere related genes and what all these mean for families in which several people appear to have similar conditions (such as pulmonary fibrosis).
Familial pulmonary fibrosis (FPF) may sometimes be referred to as familial interstitial pneumonia (FIP) or familial interstitial lung disease.

I started another channel dedicated to lung fibrosis and Interstitial Lung Diseases (ILD) if you are interested: www.youtube.com/@InterstitialLungDisease
Bingo! you just described me..69 yrs old.. cac scan 2 yrs ago showed lung fibrosis.. never smoked no history of exposure to environmental causes.. my younger brother discovered same scarring very recently.. refrerred to specialist.. his diagnosis was probably familial.. referred to genetic counciling/testing next month..So far i am in very good condition, cat scan shows no additional deterioration from original 2 yrs ago..i exercise weight lift to utter exhaustion.. the drs are pleasantly surprised and have described my exercise capacity as enourmous considering my age.. i believe my dedication to fitness has helped make my pulmonary functions much more efficient than an average sedentary 70 yr old..

Great comment, thanks for posting this. It actually inspired me to make another video based on it, which is available here if you want to check it out: kzread.info/dash/bejne/lnqXmKemor29fKw.html
Im worried because, even though im only early 30s, my father, uncle, grandmother (all related) & now grandfather on my mothers side have all been diagnosed or died from this. I have a history of smoking and only recently gave up vaping. I have debated whether to get genetically tested or to have a scan.
Bună seara Dr. Oare Româneste nu mai este?

voi mai face si in limba romana, dar ma concentrez o perioada sa dezvolt si canalul youtube in limba engleza. Am mult mai multe videoclipuri pe canalul in limba romana
