Lung fibrosis is a condition where scar tissue forms in the lungs, making breathing difficult.
Breathlessness, dry cough, and fatigue are common early signs.
Diagnosis involves HRCT scans, lung function tests, and sometimes a biopsy.
While lung fibrosis cannot be cured, treatments can slow its progression and improve quality of life.
Treatment costs vary, starting from ₹20,000 for medications to ₹30,00,000 for a lung transplant.
Current treatments focus on managing symptoms and slowing progression; reversal is not yet possible.
Common causes include occupational exposure, smoking, autoimmune diseases, and genetic factors.
Complications include pulmonary hypertension, respiratory failure, and reduced oxygen levels.
Stem cell therapy, gene therapy, and clinical trials are emerging options.
