What Is Pulmonary Fibrosis?
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
10. Treatment
Pulmonary fibrosis cannot be reversed, meaning the patient will have it for the remainder of their lives. Still, measures can be taken to help ensure the condition doesn’t get worse and many patients will have relatively straight forward lives as a result.
When necessary, treatment is available to at least help make the patient more comfortable, enhancing the quality of their life. In severe cases where the patient’s life is at risk, a lung transplant may be the best option. Remember, prevention is always the best cure, so try and take steps to keep you as safe from pulmonary fibrosis and other medical conditions as possible.
