Pulmonary fibrosis is a devastating complication of the lung. Occurs due to multiple abnormal pathways in wound healing and inflammatory process. Early treatment with anti-inflammatory agents, steroids, and anticoagulant helps in preventing disease progression. Also, Immunomodulators and anti-fibrinolytic agents prevent the progression of pulmonary fibrosis.

Pulmonary fibrosis has no cure. Current treatments aim to prevent further lung scarring, to alleviate symptoms, and to keep you active and healthy. Scarring of the lungs that has already occurred cannot be reversed.
