pneumosclerosis

Pulmonary fibrosis - the development of connective tissue in the lungs as a result nestsetsificheskogo (pneumonia, bronchitis) or specific (tuberculosis, syphilis) inflammation, as well as pneumoconiosis, a long stagnation in the pulmonary circulation (mitral stenosis, other heart disease), vasculitis immunoallergic. connective tissue formation occurs by cell, rarely without cell (hyalinosis). Characterized by localization in areas carnification insoluble pneumonia, on a course of lymphatic drainage from the centers of inflammation around the lymphatic vessels, and mezhalveolyarnyh mezhlobulyar-governmental partitions in peribronchial and perivascular tissue zapustevanie capillaries and reduction of the capillary bed.

Symptoms depend on the course of the underlying disease, with which progresses exacerbations and fibrosis. Gradually reduced respiratory surface of the lung, emphysema develops, the lung tissue is rearranged to form bronchiectasis, there is difficulty in the pulmonary circulation with the formation of pulmonary hypertension. The combination of these changes is called pnevmotsirrozom. The clinical picture of fibrosis (pnevmotsirroza) thus determined, the signs of complications: emphysema, and other degradation.

Treatment and prevention of fibrosis determined caused the disease.
