About Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF)
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is a progressive lung disease characterized by the gradual thickening and scarring of lung tissue. This scarring hinders the lungs’ ability to efficiently transfer oxygen into the bloodstream, resulting in debilitating symptoms. Individuals with IPF often experience shortness of breath, a persistent dry cough, fatigue, unexplained weight loss, and muscle and joint aches. The term ‘idiopathic’ indicates an unknown cause, adding to the complexity of the condition.
