Pulmonary fibrosis in 90 seconds

Pulmonary fibrosis is a rare and unknown disease, of which there are multiple variations. One of them is Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF). When inhaling oxygen gets into our lungs, in the alveoli. These alveoli ensure that oxygen is transported to our blood. Subsequently blood transports the oxygen to our organs. With IPF there is tissue damage in the lungs, around the alveoli. This tissue damage increases over time and this makes it harder and harder for oxygen to reach the alveoli and therefore the body.
