Everything You Need to Know About Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF).
The word idiopathic means unknown, which makes it a fitting name for a disease that’s unfamiliar to many. It’s also unclear why idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) develops.
IPF is a lung disease that causes the tissue in your lungs to become stiff. This makes it harder for you to take air in and breathe naturally. Each case of IPF is different, so talk to your doctor for specific details about disease progression.
IPF isn’t the only condition that can make breathing more difficult.
