基于络病理论浅谈特发性肺纤维化

Discussion on Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis Based on Collateral Disease Theory

特发性肺纤维化(IPF)是一类病程长且病情迁延反复的间质性肺疾病,好发于老年人。其发病率的趋势近年来不断上升,而关于其起病原因的说法却尚未得到统一。近年来,随着络病理论的进一步发展,以及学者们对络病理论的深入研究,将该理论应用于指导慢性复杂性疾病(包括特发性肺纤维化)的预防及治疗取得了一定进展。

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis(IPF) is a type of recurrent interstitial lung diseases with a long duration,which occurs in the elderly.The trend of the incidence rate has been rising in recent years,but the argument about the cause of its onset has not yet been unified.In recent years,with the further development of the theory of collaterals and the in-depth study of collateral theory by scholars,the theory has been applied to the prevention and treatment of chronic complex diseases(including idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis).
