Treatments

Treatment of interstitial lung diseases depends on the underlying cause. It is based on anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory (e.g. steroids) and anti-scar drugs (anti-fibrotic drugs). As the disease progresses, oxygen and lung function restoration programmes may be required. Despite treatment, some forms of interstitial lung disease progressively worsen and require a lung transplant.
