What department does pulmonary fibrosis see

summary

Although pulmonary fibrosis is a disease related to the lung, its nature is not very obvious. As a result, I don't know which department I should see when I suffer from this disease. Let's take a look at the Department of pulmonary fibrosis.

What department does pulmonary fibrosis see

First of all: pulmonary fibrosis is a chronic respiratory disease, respiratory medicine. Pulmonary fibrosis, that is, the interstitial tissue of the lung is composed of collagen, elastin and proteoglycans. When the fibroblasts are damaged by chemical or physical factors, they will secrete collagen to repair the interstitial tissue of the lung, and then cause pulmonary fibrosis; that is, the result of human repair after the lung is damaged.

Secondly, pulmonary fibrosis usually occurs in 40-50 years old, and male is more common in female. Dyspnea is the most common symptom of pulmonary fibrosis. In mild pulmonary fibrosis, dyspnea often occurs during strenuous activities, so it is often ignored or misdiagnosed as other diseases. Therefore, for the age of high incidence, once there is a disease, it is best to timely diagnosis and treatment.

Finally: when a large number of fibrotic tissues without gas exchange function replace alveoli, oxygen cannot enter the blood. Patients with poor breathing, hypoxia, acidosis, loss of labor, serious cases can eventually lead to death.

matters needing attention

Our patients with pulmonary fiber may have low oxygen content in their blood. We can improve the decrease of blood oxygen through oxygen inhalation machine. This method belongs to the category of inhalation therapy. If you have the habit of smoking, it's best to get rid of it, mainly light diet, pay attention to the combination of work and rest.
