Overview

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is a disease among a large group of the interstitial lung diseases and particularly a subtype of the idiopathic interstitial pneumonia. The major group include acute interstitial pneumonia (AIP), cryptogenic organizing pneumonia (COP), respiratory bronchiolitis–interstitial lung disease (RB-ILD), and desquamative interstitial pneumonia (DIP).

Classification

  • Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is a disease among a large group of the interstitial lung diseases and particularly a subtype of the idipathic interstitial pneumonia. The major forms of the idiopathic interstitial pneumonia include
  • The idiopathic interstitial pneumonias are classified by the American Thoracic Society/European Respiratory Society (ATS/ERS) into three main groups:[1]
    • Major idiopathic interstitial pneumonia
    • Rare idiopathic interstitial pneumonia
    • Unclassifiable idiopathic interstitial pneumonia
  • The idiopathic interstitial fibrosis is the chronic form of the idiopathic interstitial pneumonia. Other forms of the idiopathic interstitial pneumonia include the following:
    • Acute or subacute: Acute Interstitial Pneumonia (AIP) and Cryptogenic Organizing Pneumonia (COP)
    • Chronic: Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF)
    • Smoking-related: Respiratory Bronchiolitis–Interstitial Lung Disease (RB-ILD) and Desquamative Interstitial Pneumonia (DIP)
