Pulmonary Fibrosis Causes

Common Causes

The most common causes of pulmonary fibrosis are:

• Autoimmune diseases:
• Rheumatoid arthritis
• Scleroderma (systemic sclerosis)
• Tuberculosis
• Pneumonia
• Systemic lupus erythematosus
• Sarcoidosis
• Polymyositis
• Dermatomyositis
• Anti-synthetase syndrome
• GERD - 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'.
