Abstract

The authors of the article prove the need to include a new name for the disease - "Progressive Fibrosing Lung Disease" into clinical practice. Recognition of the fact that some lung diseases end in a fibrosing process, which does not have any significant differences depending on the initial disease that led to fibrosis, will expand the indications for earlier prescription of antifibrotic drugs, which will undoubtedly improve the prognosis in this extremely severe category of patients.

В статье обосновывается необходимость включения в клиническую практику нового названия болезни – «прогрессирующая фиброзирующая болезнь легких». Признание факта исхода части заболеваний легких в фиброзирующий процесс, который существенно не различается в зависимости от исходного заболевания, приведшего к фиброзированию, позволит расширить показания для более раннего назначения антифибротических препаратов, что, несомненно, улучшит прогноз у этой крайне тяжелой категории пациентов.

Keywords: criteria of inflammatory process activity; diagnostic criteria; idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis; progressive fibrosing lung disease; treatment strategy; usual interstitial pneumonia.
