Pulmonary Fibrosis End Stages

Pulmonary fibrosis is characterized by the continual, excessive
    accumulation of fibroid tissue in the lungs. The obstruction
   associated with this fibroid tissue contributes to a number of
 pulmonary ailments and general lung debilitation. The disease
 itself is often referred to as "lung scarring." Fibrosis of the lung
  has a number of known causes but is also idiopathic in many
                                cases.

                    Symptoms of End Stage Lung Fibrosis
Those who suffer from pulmonary fibrosis experience symptoms similar to a
  prolonged respiratory infection. Early onset of the disease is generally
        asymptomatic. Later stages of lung fibrosis are marked by:
        -The continual presence of a hacking, sputum-free cough.
   -An inability to catch one's breath. Exertion increases this symptom.
              -Chronic fatigue and general muscle weakness.
                 -Significant weight loss over a short period.
                                 -No appetite.
                           -Severe chest discomfort.

Pulmonary Fibrosis End Stages

A reliable diagnosis of end stage lung scarring is associated with
 chronic shortness of breath, subtle crackling overheard during
stethoscope examination and x-ray or CT imaging. CT scans are
  preferable to x-rays when diagnosing end stage lung fibrosis.

                      What Causes Pulmonary Fibrosis?
  Much of the fibroid activity associated with lung scarring is due to interstitial
lung diseases. Fibroid growth following these illnesses is generally acute, may
     exacerbate with time and is otherwise not chronic. Infections caused by
  viruses, lung damage caused by airborne particles or autoimmune diseases
 are often implicated in fibrosis activity. Idiopathic fibrosis occurs when there is
        no known cause of the fibroid growths. Research into the genetic
   predisposition of lung fibrosis will continue to provide evidence concerning
                               idiopathic causation.

 Factors which contribute to the likelihood of developing lung fibrosis include:
    -Cigarette smoking, which also increases the progression of fibrosis.
-Pneumonitis caused by the inhalation of organic particulates, such as mold or
                                    bacteria.
        -Asbestos, silicate or other environmental pollutant exposure.
          -A previous history of rheumatoid arthritis or scleroderma.
         -A previous history of autoimmune diseases, such as lupus.
            -The diagnosis of similar connective tissue diseases.
                     -Exposure of the chest to radiation.

                       Disease Progression
   Pulmonary fibrosis causes degeneration of lung tissue and
   breathing quality when fibrous tissue replaces healthy lung
tissue. The disease progresses when this replacement happens
    continually. Chronic exposure to the above factors is most
       typically associated with heightened pathogenesis.

Pulmonary Fibrosis End Stages

  As lung fibrosis advances into advanced stages, patients will
experience continual shortness of breath. This symptom is due to
     the lack of lung tissue available for oxygen diffusion and
respiration. Lung scarring also reduces the expansion capacity of
   the lungs, which restricts air flow and further limits breathing
                               ability.

                   Treatment of Pulmonary Fibrosis
  The range of treatment options used to combat lung fibrosis is slim.
   Idiopathic fibrosis is often not treatable. Idiopathic lung fibrosis will
  progress into later stages with little possibility of remission. In these
 instances the only option is full lung replacement. Non-idiopathic lung
scarring may respond to immune system suppressant treatments, such
                              as corticosteriods.
