Pulmonary fibrosis. Overview. Pulmonary fibrosis Pulmonary fibrosis scars and thickens the tissue around and between the air sacs (alveoli) in your lungs, as shown on the right. A normal lung with normal alveoli is shown on the left. Pulmonary fibrosis is a lung disease that occurs when lung tissue becomes damaged and scarred. This thickened, stiff tissue makes it more difficult for your lungs to work properly. As pulmonary fibrosis worsens, you become progressively more short of breath. The scarring associated with pulmonary fibrosis can be caused by a multitude of factors.
What is pulmonary fibrosis? Pulmonary fibrosis, or idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), is a rare condition causing scarring of the lungs and shortness of breath and coughing. There is no cure for pulmonary fibrosis. Treatments such as oxygen can help with respiratory symptoms, but the disease progresses over time and can be fatal. Pulmonary fibrosis is thought to be caused by damage to cells in the lungs called alveoli, though the precise reasons for the damage are still not clear.
