Acute Exacerbations of Pulmonary Fibrosis

ILFA is pleased to announce our latest patient information leaflet entitled “Acute Exacerbations of Pulmonary Fibrosis”

An acute exacerbation of pulmonary fibrosis is a sudden worsening or ‘flare-up’ of your disease. It causes:

• a decline in your lung function (your FVC and DLco)
• a rapid worsening of your breathlessness and other symptoms.

When an acute exacerbation occurs, your doctor will be able to see new changes or scarring on your chest scan.
