The Key Difference Between Reversible and Irreversible Pulmonary Fibrosis

Interstitial lung fibrosis is called pulmonary fibrosis. Since the claim spread that it is irreversible and a cancer that never kills, many pulmonary fibrosis patients and their family members have chosen to give up. In fact, this cannot be generalized. Just like cancer, which now ranks first and second in threatening people's health, have not quite a few patients also lived for many years or more than ten years after proper treatment? After all, pulmonary fibrosis is not that terrifying, and its irreversibility is even less absolute.

Anatomy of Pulmonary Fibrosis

However, it must be understood that the treatment of pulmonary fibrosis requires a fairly long period, so people call it a project. Whether it is reversible or irreversible mainly depends on the stage of onset and the degree of the lesion, that is, whether it is mainly alveolitis or mainly fibrosis. If it is mainly alveolitis, that is, the early stage of fibrosis, the chance of complete reversal is very high. This period is like the front foot stepping forward; if it moves forward again, it enters the fibrosis stage.

This period can be said to be the best treatment period during which reversal is possible, and fibrosis also depends on the transformation during repair and absorption after alveolitis. On the one hand, it is closely related to one's own constitution, current living environment conditions, mental outlook and other self-resistance factors; on the other hand, it also depends on the contest between the chosen treatment method and drug efficacy and the disease. Generally, in alveolitis and partial interstitial fibrosis, it can be completely reversed.

Alveolitis

When inflammation occurs, it is a battlefield where the vital qi and the pathogenic factors fight, so aid must be supplied continuously. The reproductive capacity of bacteria and viruses is frightening. If alveolitis has just appeared, effective treatment can completely reverse it. After alveolitis has persisted for a period, inflammation and fibrosis coexist. The main manifestation of recovery and absorption depends on how much necrotic tissue debris there is and whether it can be completely absorbed. That is to say, the earlier the treatment, the higher the efficiency of reversal.
