Progressive fibrosing lung disease. Discussion aspects of the problem: A review

Abstract

Abstract The authors of the article prove the need to include a new name for the disease "Progressive Fibrosing Lung Disease" into clinical practice. Recognition of the fact that some lung diseases end in a fibrosing process, which does not have any significant differences depending on the initial disease that led to fibrosis, will expand the indications for earlier prescription of antifibrotic drugs, which will undoubtedly improve the prognosis in this extremely severe category of patients.
