Pulmonary fibrosis is a condition in which the lungs become scarred over time.[1] Symptoms include shortness of breath, a dry cough, feeling tired, weight loss, and nail clubbing.[1] Complications may include pulmonary hypertension, respiratory failure, pneumothorax, and lung cancer.[2]
Causes include environmental pollution, certain medications, connective tissue diseases, infections, and interstitial lung diseases.[1][3][6] Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), an interstitial lung disease of unknown cause, is most common.[1][3] Diagnosis may be based on symptoms, medical imaging, lung biopsy, and lung function tests.[1]
There is no cure and there are limited treatment options available.[1] Treatment is directed towards efforts to improve symptoms and may include oxygen therapy and pulmonary rehabilitation.[1][4] Certain medications may be used to try to slow the worsening of scarring.[4] Lung transplantation may occasionally be an option.[3] At least 5 million people are affected globally.[5] Life expectancy is generally less than five years.[3] Symptoms of pulmonary fibrosis are mainly:[7]
Shortness of breath, particularly with exertion
Chronic dry, hacking coughing
Fatigue and weakness
Chest discomfort including chest pain
Loss of appetite and rapid weight loss
Pulmonary fibrosis is suggested by a history of progressive shortness of breath (dyspnea) with exertion. Sometimes fine inspiratory crackles can be heard at the lung bases on auscultation. A chest X-ray may or may not be abnormal, but high-resolution CT will frequently demonstrate abnormalities.[3]
Cause
Further information: Interstitial lung disease
Pulmonary fibrosis may be a secondary effect of other diseases. Most of these are classified as interstitial lung diseases. Examples include autoimmune disorders, viral infections and bacterial infection like tuberculosis which may cause fibrotic changes in both lung's upper or lower lobes and other microscopic injuries to the lung. However, pulmonary fibrosis can also appear without any known cause. In this case, it is termed "idiopathic".[8] Most idiopathic cases are diagnosed as idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. This is a diagnosis of exclusion of a characteristic set of histologic/pathologic features known as usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP). In either case, there is a growing body of evidence which points to a genetic predisposition in a subset of patients. For example, a mutation in surfactant protein C (SP-C) has been found to exist in some families with a history of pulmonary fibrosis.[9] Autosomal dominant mutations in the TERC or TERT genes, which encode telomerase, have been identified in about 15 percent of pulmonary fibrosis patients.[10]
Diseases and conditions that may cause pulmonary fibrosis as a secondary effect include:[3][9]
Inhalation of environmental and occupational pollutants, such as metals[11] in asbestosis, silicosis and exposure to certain gases. Coal miners, ship workers and sand blasters among others are at higher risk.[8]
Hypersensitivity pneumonitis, most often resulting from inhaling dust contaminated with bacterial, fungal, or animal products
Cigarette smoking can increase the risk or make the illness worse[8]
Some typical connective tissue diseases[8] such as rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, SLE and scleroderma
Other diseases that involve connective tissue, such as sarcoidosis and granulomatosis with polyangiitis
Infections, including COVID-19
Certain medications, e.g. amiodarone, bleomycin (pingyangmycin), busulfan, methotrexate,[8] apomorphine,[12] and nitrofurantoin[13]
Radiation therapy to the chest

A neighbour of mine has Pulmonary fibrosis. He was diagnosed 15 years ago and is still alive to this day. He rejected all hospital treatment and started taking CORDYCEPS. This fungus saved his life.

Hello do your friend still show fibrosis on the lungs ?

@@ivonnemouet385 He hasn't had any scans or anything in 15 years so I am not sure. His doctor told him he only had a few years left, but he wouldn't accept that. He came across Cordyceps as he was researching mushrooms and said they started working straight away to help his fibrosis. 2-3 Cordyceps capsules everyday basically since he was diagnosed.

Congratulations on your successful umbilical cord stem cell transplant , reversing your condition completely! ❤️
I was diagnosed 5 years ago and until recently they called it IPF. New pulmonologist took 16 viles of blood on one stick and out of that thinks grain dust caused it. Im on oxygen 24/7 and the last year have gotten considerably worse. I refused the 2 medications that may or may not slow the progression. The side effects wasn't worth it to me. I will let God handle it.

Amiodarone, a medication used to treat irregular heart rhythms, can indeed have side effects, including pulmonary fibrosis. This condition involves scarring of the lung tissue, which can lead to breathing difficulties. If your dad developed pulmonary fibrosis from amiodarone, it’s crucial to work closely with his healthcare team to manage the condition and explore alternative treatments or interventions to address both the fibrosis and the underlying heart issue. Regular monitoring and supportive care are essential in such cases.
