Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) Overview

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic, progressive, and ultimately fatal fibrosing interstitial lung disease of unknown aetiology, characterised by aberrant epithelial injury responses, fibroblast activation, and excessive extracellular matrix deposition — producing the pathological hallmark of usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP) — resulting in irreversible destruction of lung architecture and progressive respiratory failure. Genetic susceptibility variants, particularly MUC5B promoter polymorphisms, alongside ageing, cigarette smoking, gastro-oesophageal reflux, and occupational dust exposures are recognised risk determinants. Patients — predominantly older males — present insidiously with progressive exertional dyspnoea, dry cough, and bibasal inspiratory velcro-like crackles, with clubbing present in a significant proportion. Diagnosis integrates high-resolution CT demonstrating characteristic UIP pattern — subpleural, basal-predominant honeycombing with or without traction bronchiectasis — alongside pulmonary function testing revealing restrictive physiology and reduced DLCO; surgical lung biopsy is reserved for diagnostically uncertain cases. Antifibrotic therapies — nintedanib and pirfenidone — slow FVC decline and disease progression but do not reverse established fibrosis. Lung transplantation remains the only potentially life-extending intervention in eligible patients. Pulmonary rehabilitation, supplemental oxygen, and proactive management of comorbidities — including pulmonary hypertension and acute exacerbations — are essential. Prognosis remains poor with median survival of two to five years; early palliative integration, advance care planning, and compassionate patient-centred support are indispensable throughout the disease trajectory.
