Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis.

---

The family of interstitial lung diseases is characterized by cellular proliferation, interstitial inflammation, fibrosis, or a combination
of such findings within the alveolar wall that is not due to infection or cancer.1 Interstitial fibrosis is the predominant phenotype in most cases. The majority of patients with interstitial fibrosis ultimately receive a diagnosis of chronic hypersensitivity pneumonitis (due to mold or bird exposure), pulmonary sarcoidosis, an underlying autoimmune disease, or if no cause is identified, an idiopathic interstitial pneumonia.
