Abstract
Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) is the
most aggressive and progressive subtype of interstitial lung disease, often
leading to severe functional impairment and early mortality. Despite
therapeutic advances, IPF continues to surpass many malignancies in fatality,
demanding prompt diagnosis and holistic management. This article reviews the
clinical burden, prognostic indicators, molecular pathology, and current
treatment modalities of IPF. Additionally, a real-world case of a 58-year-old
male bus conductor with severe disease progression is presented to highlight
the challenges in managing advanced IPF in urban India.
