Overview
Common causes of pulmonary fibrosis include autoimmunity, rheumatoid arthritis, scleroderma, tuberculosis, SLE, sarocoidosis, and polymyoisitis. Other causes of pulmonary fibrosis include environmental factors as cigarette smoking and dust exposure.
Causes
Common Causes
The most common causes of pulmonary fibrosis are:[1]
- Autoimmune diseases:
- Rheumatoid arthritis
- Scleroderma (systemic sclerosis)
- Tuberculosis
- Pneumonia
- Systemic lupus erythematosus
- Sarcoidosis
- Polymyositis
- Dermatomyositis
- Anti-synthetase syndrome
- Gastroesophageal reflux disease
Environmental Factors
- Cigarette smoke
- Asbestos exposure
- Silica exposure
- Coal dust exposure
- Beryllium exposure
- Hard metal dusts exposure
- Animal protein exposure
- Bacteria, mold exposure
- Radiation
Drugs
- lomustine
- Panitumumab
- Penicillamine
- Rifapentin
- Methotrexate (Trexall)
- Cyclophosphamide (Cytoxan)
- Amiodarone (Cordarone)
- Nexterone (Pacerone)
- Propranolol (Inderol, Innopran)
- Nitrofurantoin (Macrobid, Macrodantin)
- Sulfasalazine (Azulfidine)
Genetic and Inherited Diseases also make up 10-15% of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis diagnosis.
