Lung Fibrosis – Interstitial Lung Diseases (ILD)

Lung Fibrosis, a type of Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD), is a progressive condition causing lung scarring that affects breathing and oxygen exchange. The scarring can be caused by environmental exposure, autoimmune diseases, or unknown factors.

Common symptoms include:

• Persistent dry cough
• Shortness of breath (dyspnea)
• Fatigue and weakness
• Chest discomfort
• Clubbing of fingers

Diagnosis involves specialized tests such as High-Resolution CT (HRCT) scans, pulmonary function tests (PFTs), and lung biopsies. Early and accurate diagnosis is crucial to slow disease progression.
