Pulmonary fibrosis involves the thickening and stiffening of lung tissue due to scarring (fibrosis), which can impair the transfer of oxygen into the bloodstream. While the condition can result from environmental factors, infections, or autoimmune diseases, it’s often classified as idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) when the cause is unknown.
Pulmonary fibrosis is a progressive lung disease that causes scarring of lung tissue, making it difficult to breathe. At PCCSS, we understand the challenges of living with pulmonary fibrosis and are committed to providing personalized care to improve your quality of life.
1. Accurate Diagnosis
Early and accurate diagnosis is crucial for effective management. We use:
High-Resolution CT Scans: For detailed imaging of lung scarring.
Pulmonary Function Tests (PFTs): To measure lung capacity and efficiency.
Blood Tests: To identify potential autoimmune or inflammatory causes.
Lung Biopsy: In select cases, for a definitive diagnosis.
2. Customized Treatment Plans
While there is no cure for pulmonary fibrosis, our treatment plans aim to manage symptoms and slow disease progression. We offer:
Antifibrotic Medications: To reduce lung scarring and maintain lung function.
Oxygen Therapy: To improve oxygen levels and ease breathing.
Pulmonary Rehabilitation: Tailored exercise and breathing programs to enhance lung capacity and overall fitness.
3. Advanced Interventions
For severe cases, we provide guidance on:
Lung Transplant Referrals: For eligible candidates.
Clinical Trials: Access to innovative therapies and cutting-edge research.
4. Ongoing Monitoring and Support
Our team provides continuous care to monitor disease progression and adjust your treatment plan as needed.
