What are the late symptoms of pulmonary fibrosis?

Patient's question:

When I was young, I really loved smoking, especially before taking a nap at night, I had to smoke a pack of cigarettes to be able to take a nap. I guess when I was young, I didn't pay much attention to smoking too much, and now I have pulmonary fibrosis. It's already in the late stage now. What are the symptoms of late-stage pulmonary fibrosis?

Doctor's answer:

A light cough, general weakness, progressive dyspnea, and other symptoms may be observed. In the lungs, fine crackles can be heard at the end of inspiration, and chest X-rays may reveal diffuse reticular or nodular shadows in both lungs. This can lead to right heart failure and may cause recurrent significant signs of systemic venous congestion. Targeted genes can accurately identify affected tissues, precisely target the lung lesions, and regenerate and repair damaged cells.
