Cystic fibrosis (CF) is the most common autosomal recessive disease among whites, with a frequency of 1 in 2,000 to 1 in 3,000 live births. The disease is caused by a mutation in the gene that encodes for the CF transmembrane conductance regulator on chromosome 7. This mutation causes production of thick, sticky secretions that clog the airways and the

Interstitial Lung Disease and Lung Transplantation
Seminars in Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2010Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is the most common of the idiopathic interstitial pneumonias and carries the worst prognosis. Currently the best treatment option is lung transplantation. Historically patients with IPF had poor outcomes following referral for lung transplant due to high waiting-list mortality. The introduction of the lung allocation

Lung Transplantation for Interstitial Lung Disease
Clinics in Chest Medicine, 2012For selected parenchymal lung disease patients who fail to respond to medical therapy and demonstrate declines in function that place them at increased risk for mortality, lung transplantation should be considered. Lung transplantation remains a complex medical intervention that requires a dedicated recipient and medical team.
