Can idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis be cured?
Asked by Male, 50 · 2 months ago
There is currently no cure for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), as it causes permanent scarring of the lungs. Treatment is aimed at slowing the disease progression, easing symptoms, and may include antifibrotic medicines or, in some cases, a lung transplant.
