What is PF?

Pulmonary fibrosis is a condition where the lungs gradually become scarred, causing the air sacs (alveoli) to be replaced by thick, stiff tissue. This scarring makes it increasingly difficult to breathe. Since pulmonary fibrosis can occur in over 200 different lung disorders, identifying the underlying cause is crucial, as treatment options vary depending on the type.
