In this video, the speakers discuss:
- Lung problems that can occur after transplant include bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS), interstitial lung disease, cryptic organizing pneumonia, neuromuscular lung disease, pleural disease and problems caused by skin sclerosis which can affect the chest wall and make it hard to breathe.
- Symptoms of bronchiolitis obliterans may not appear until the disease has progressed extensively
- Treatment for bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome usually does not reverse the disease, but may stop it from getting worse.
