What is the BEST treatment for pulmonary fibrosis ?

In this episode I discuss what are the best treatments for pulmonary fibrosis depending on most common situations. It is important to determine the cause of the lung scarring in each individual case, because depending on the situation:
1) no treatment may be necessary if the cause can be removed (occupational lung disease, environmental exposures) and the fibrosis is stable over time
2) a treatment for a known cause or lung inflammation can be given if this is driving the fibrosis (e.g. if the fibrosis is caused by another condition affecting the body - typically inflammatory conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, scleroderma, other autoimmune diseases or inflammatory lung conditions such as chronic hypersensitivity pneumonitis)
3) antifibrotic therapy may be recommended. There are two indications for antifibrotic treatment: 1. IPF (idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, or progressive lung scarring of an unknown cause), where two medications are approved (pirfenidone and nintedanib) and 2. PF-ILD (progressive fibrosing interstitial lung disease, also known as PPF - progressive pulmonary fibrosis). In PF-ILD, there is usually a known cause for the fibrosis, but the condition cannot be called IPF. Antifibrotic treatment with nintedanib is available for PF-ILD regardless of the cause of the lung scarring if, over time, there is worsening of respiratory symptoms, lung function and chest CT radiological images.

I was on both Esbreit and later Ofev. Also pulmonary rehab a few times. Eventually lungs declined and received a double lung transplant @ a year and half ago. I feel the treatments bought me time and the rehab helped with my strength for the procedure. Doing well so far. Having support and staying positive is very important. Good luck to all as I know your journey. And THANK YOU to my DONOR and all the Medical staff for my being here. And especially my WIFE, stronger than me.

@@polaris7122 Both of the fibrotic meds are only being used for IPF. My understanding there are a lot of different ILD. Best to follow up with your doctor if these would work for your diagnosis. These two drugs work to slow the scarring of IPF. Others may help your situation. I can also recommend a structured pulmonary rehab. What they can teach you about breathing, exercise, and a group of people with similar conditions were a big help to me. Wish you well.

@@cskiles318 Mine was similar the PAH was diagnosis from ECG. But later heart catheter showed was better than imaging as imaging is more of a guess. What I’ve learned is everyone’s different as there are many causes. Some are steady for many years, others decline in steps, and the last category acute exacerbation. This is rapid decline. I treated, tested, and monitored for close to two years. Declined quickly last few months and received Double lung transplant. I’ve just enjoyed two years post transplant. My advice is be your own advocate, seek the best treatment, and stay strong. If not already doing try pulmonary rehab. It helps to teach breathing, exercise, and hope to monitor how you feel. I believe pulmonary rehab helped me stay strong until I was ready for transplant. Pulmonary fibrosis foundation ok for resources try not to follow internet too much. Lot of outdated info.

Thank you for this video. My 84 yo father was recently diagnosed. Waiting to see Pulmonoligist. We believe the scarring came from his 40's ... 10+ years of wood sanding (walnut). The scarring is old they say. * He is going downhill... fatique from anything strenuous. He was just placed oxgen for sleeping. My question is, if we get him going with a good Pulmonary Rehab and exercise program (with oyxen) can we stop the spread of the scarring? in other words...Do old 45 years scars get worse? We are not sure that we want to have him take medicine. (risks may outweigh benefits, we are thinking already) Was hoping that he could successful live with what he's got, and make his last years as comfortable as possible through pulm. rebab and O2. Thank you.

Hello Dr. Stefan, My mom is 68 years old- one dr. diagnosed her with COPD another wanted to do a biopsy because could not give a diagnosis, he referred her to a Lung Transplant Surgeon whom diagnosed her after one exam with Pulmonary Fibrosis- right away wants her to be evaluated for Lung Transplant-- we are very confused at this point. Her symptoms are: shortness of breath while walking long period of times (oxygen goes down to mid 80's) some coughing in the morning. Was never a smoker, never worked around asbestos, nor has she been exposed to anything else that would cause pulmonary fibrosis .What do you recommend? Thank you so much in advance!

I was prescribed Amiodarone for my atrial fibrillation in Aug. 2023. I developed Amiodarone toxicity in both lungs which created scarring to my lungs. Previous CT scans indicate progressive scarring and the ILD specialists are recommending Ofev. I'm somewhat gunshy about this medication: 1)it's expensive and 2)the listed side effects cause some concern since the Amiodarone wasn't supposed to cause the problems that it did. So, for those of you taking Ofev, are you tolerating this medication? Have there been any serious side effects? Is Ofev actually slowing down the progression of pulmonary fibrosis? Thanks!

Hello, Doctor - or anyone with knowledge regarding this... I had gotten a CT scan with contrast, for actually another condition involving my urinary tract. The lower portion of my lungs and other organs were also included in the imaging. I was completely surprised by the findings: Subpleural reticulation, fibrosis, or atelectasis, in bulibasilar and basilar lobes. I have never smoked, don't have any occupational history, and don't have a cough, I have not had pneumonia or surgery. I am a 60 year old woman, active, and of normal weight. I am awaiting an appointment with my primary care doctor and a referral to a specialist - the urologist who ordered the CT scans couldn't comment on this as it is not her specialty... I am wondering what on earth is going on - After Googling these conditions I am very worried.

I am not a doctor (I have done other studies) but I understand that pulmonary fibrosis involves having scars on these organs but I am sure that there must be some non-invasive remedy (and I don't think even too far away in time given the great medical discoveries in recent years: I am an optimist by nature) capable of dissolving these scars and restoring a good part of the compromised tissue... I think that something from a pharmacological point of view or similar is already in the "workshop"...

Hi Sir, My wife has been suffering from a cough for the last 2+ years. We have consulted the pulmonologist. He has done CT, ANA, Ig other tests and doctor advised for daily walk, breathing exercises, forcart 100 inhaler. It's been one year but still she has a cough and 10 days back new CT is done the diagnosis is still infection(fibrosis) is there in lungs it's not reduced and also not increased. So we consulted another doctor almost all investigations are done now planning for bronchoscopy. Will do it once her lung capacity is good for the test. ****Note: My question is my wife lost her brother (@19 age) because of lung issues. Looks like similar issues she has. Is ILD are hereditary or genetic dis order. (My Wife is my mother's brother's daughter and wife's father is married to his sister's daughter) ?? Sir please reply to my question ❓

I was wishing for the DRUG-free therapies.....HOLISTIC approach with functional-integrative medicine....I disagree taking Steroids & such....Therefore Dr. your approach conflicts w/my goals. Thank you. but. NO, Thank you!

If the cause or causes of an illness aren't understood, why not say so ? Why invent a fancy name for this situation ie. Idiopathic? Obviously, every disease has a cause. There could be so many reasons. So,why has idiopathetic pulmonary fibrosis got a definitive pattern on a ct scan ? Or, is this simply an error of judgement?

Idiopathic is a general medical term for cause unknown
