Patient's question:
My father is 59 years old this year. He got pulmonary fibrosis due to training reasons. Hello, can pulmonary fibrosis be replaced with a lung?Doctor's answer:
The current condition of the elderly male patient is pulmonary fibrosis, which has many different causes. The main pathological changes affect the gas exchange in lung tissue, leading to symptoms such as significant chest tightness and limited breathing. In severe cases, the patient may experience difficulty breathing and require lifelong medication to manage the condition, often needing oxygen support. If the patient's financial situation permits, lung tissue transplantation surgery can also be considered.
