Management of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF)
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a rare lung disease that leads to progressive lung scaring and eventual respiratory failure; it most often affects the elderly. The American Thoracic Society and other international bodies updated clinical practice guidelines for this disease in 2022. Tracy Luckhardt, MD, a pulmonologist, summarizes the most important changes to diagnosis, pharmacological treatments, and non-pharmacological treatments. Learn more about the advantages of an interdisciplinary team in managing symptoms and comorbidities of IPF, including determining when a patient is a good candidate for clinical trials or a lung transplant.
