Music:One Last Breath… Pulmonary Fibrosis involves scarring of the lung. Gradually, the air sacs of the lungs become replaced by fibrotic tissue. When the scar forms, the tissue becomes thicker causing an irreversible loss of the tissue’s ability to transfer oxygen into the bloodstream. There are five million people worldwide that are affected by this disease. In the United States there are over 200,000 patients with Pulmonary Fibrosis. As a consequence of misdiagnosis the actual numbers may be significantly higher. Of these more than 40,000 expire annually. This is the same as die from Breast Cancer. Typically, patients are in their forties and fifties when diagnosed. However, diagnoses have ranged from age seven to the eighties. Current research indicates that Pediatric Interstitial Lung Disease afflicts many infants. At this time there is limited data on prevalence for this group. There are currently no effective treatments or a cure for Pulmonary Fibrosis. The pharmacological agents designed to treat lung scarring are still in the experimental phase while the treatments intended to suppress inflammation have only limited success in reducing the fibro tic progress. Because the origin and development of the disease is not completely understood, misdiagnosis is common. Varying terminology and lack of standard diagnostic criteria have complicated the gathering of accurate statistics about people with pulmonary fibrosis. Supplemental oxygen improves the quality of life and exercise capacity. Single lung transplant may be considered for some patients. Pulmonary Fibrosis is a very complex disease and the prediction of longevity of patients after diagnosis varies greatly. Traditional theories have postulated that it might be an autoimmune disorder, or the after effects of an infection, viral in nature. There is a growing body of evidence which points to a genetic predisposition. A mutation in the SP-C protein has been found to exist in families with a history of Pulmonary Fibrosis. The most current thinking is that the fibro tic process is a reaction to microscopic injury to the lung. The exact cause remains unknown. Please visit my fund raising page and donate to the cause.http://www.active.com/donate/pulmonaryfibrosis/LuisRGa rcia All donations are tax deductible The victims of Pulmonary Fibrosis thank you for your generous support!For more information on pulmonary fibrosis visit our web-sit at http://www.pulmonaryfibrosis.org/Please do not discard because you’re healthy or because it does not pertain to you or anyone you know. Take the time and educate your self so that maybe you can be able to educate someone else. Together we can make a difference. In memory of my dad Luis R. Garcia 11-15-38 - 09-08-07 |
