Overview
Fibrosis is the formation or development of excess fibrous connective tissue in an organ or tissue as a reparative or reactive process, as opposed to a formation of fibrous tissue as a normal constituent of an organ or tissue.
Fibrosis-related diseases:
- Cystic fibrosis of the pancreas and lungs
- Endomyocardial fibrosis, idiopathic myocardiopathy
- Cirrhosis can result from fibrosis of the liver
- Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis of the lung
- Diffuse parenchymal lung disease
- Mediastinal fibrosis
- Myleofibrosis
- Post-Vasectomy Pain Syndrome
- Retroperitoneal fibrosis
- Progressive massive fibrosis, a complication of coal workers' pneumoconiosis
- Proliferative fibrosis, neoplastic fibrosis
- Tuberculosis (TB) can cause fibrosis of the lungs
- Sickle-cell anemia may cause enlargement and ultimately fibrosis of the spleen.
- Rheumatoid arthritis
