Pulmonary Fibrosis 肺纖維化
Also called: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
Pulmonary
fibrosis harms the tissues deep in your lungs. The air sacs in your
lungs and their supporting structures become inflamed and scarred. If
scarring progresses, it makes your lungs thick and stiff. That makes it
hard for you to catch your breath, and your blood may not get enough
oxygen.
The kind
of job you have may affect your risk of getting the disease. For
example, coal miners, ship workers and sand blasters are at risk.
Pulmonary fibrosis is also associated with some connective tissue
diseases. It can be a side effect of a medicine. Sometimes no one knows
the cause of the disease. Smoking can boost your risk or make your
illness worse.
