Overview

Common risk factors of pulmonary fibrosis include cigarette smoking and genetic mutations which include hTERT, MUC5B, TERT, and RTEL1. Less common risk factors include gastroesophageal reflux disease and wood dust.

Risk Factors

Common risk factors

  • Common risk factors of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis include the following:
    • Cigarette smoking:[1]
      • Is the most important risk factor for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis even years after cessation
    • Gene mutations:
      • Genetic mutations showed increase risk in development of pulmonary fibrosis. Mutations include the following genes:[2][3][4]
        • hTERT and hTR
        • MUC5B
        • TERT  
        • TERC  
        • RTEL1  
        • PARN  
        • DKC1 
        • TINF2  
        • SFTPC
