Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), or cryptogenic fibrosing alveolitis as it is known in the United Kingdom and Europe, is perhaps one of the most complex and frustrating pulmonary disorders. The cause of this illness is unknown. Treatment often founders in a mire of discontent, dissatisfaction, and failure. In fact, the philosophic homily "If you do

Overview of Pulmonary Fibrosis*
Chest, 2002Pulmonary fibrosis is a component of over 200 interstitial lung diseases. Some have known etiologies, however, for many diseases, the etiology remains unknown or obscure. This brief review examines the prevalence and classification of these diseases, the approach to be taken for the investigation of a patient suspected of having pulmonary fibrosis, the

Genetics of Pulmonary Fibrosis
Seminars in Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2003Identifying genetic determinants of pulmonary fibrosis is at an early stage of evolution. It is now well recognized that "pulmonary fibrosis" covers a broad range of lung diseases including most topically the idiopathic interstitial pneumonias that have been classified recently.

Postgraduate Medicine, 1959
Diffuse pulmonary fibrosis may have many different causes. When roentgenographs examination reveals evidence of this disease, a detailed history should be obtained and a careful physical examination performed. Extensive laboratory procedures often are necessary. Prognosis and treatment depend on the underlying cause and on complications.

Journal of Thoracic Imaging, 2016
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is the most common fibrosing lung disease and is associated with a very poor prognosis. IPF manifests histopathologically as usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP) and as subpleural and basal predominant reticulation with honeycombing on high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) of the chest.

Diseases of the Chest, 1951
1)The term Familial Pulmonary Fibrosis is felt to be a definite entity. 2)This disease is a familial response to chronic pulmonary insult in the nature of bilateral pulmonary fibrosis. 3)The disease, once it manifests itself clinically, is usually progressive to death. 4)The age incidence is from 30 to 55 years.

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a specific form of progressive, chronic fibrosing interstitial lung disease occurring primarily in older adults and limited to the lungs. The prognosis is dire, with half of all patients progressing to death from respiratory failure within 3 to 5 years from initial diagnosis. The pathogenesis of IPF is complex and

Human Pathology, 1970
Abstract The histopathologic changes in diffuse pulmonary fibrosis are discussed and current nomenclature reviewed. The importance of alveolitis due to hypersensitivity to inhaled organic proteins (allergic alveolitis) has been recognized only recently. The features that distinguish allergic alveolitis from other types of diffuse interstitial fibrosis

Pulmonary Emphysema and Fibrosis
Diseases of the Chest, 19531)Thirty-seven patients with pulmonary emphysema and/or fibrosis have been reviewed. The outstanding symptoms are dyspnea, cyanosis and cough. The main findings on examination are barrel-shaped chest with limited respiratory excursion, hyper-resonance on percussion, hypertrophy of the auxiliary respiratory muscles and decreased pulmonary function ...

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis kills half of its victims within five years of diagnosis. Currently available treatment regimens are disappointing, and the incidence of the disease appears to be increasing. Newer techniques of imaging coupled with laboratory advances in molecular and cellular biology may produce new strategies for modulating the disease ...
