What is idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis? Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a disease that causes scarring of the lungs. This scarring causes breathing to become progressively difficult. Pulmonary fibrosis is an interstitial lung disease. Interstitial lung diseases are a group of conditions characterised by inflammation or scarring or both that damage the lungs.
‘Idiopathic’ means that it has no known cause. IPF is the most common form of pulmonary fibrosis and is a serious, chronic condition.
