Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) has a poor prognosis if left untreated; therefore, early treatment with pirfenidone is crucial. Lei conducted a retrospective analysis to evaluate the effectiveness of early pirfenidone treatment on lung function in 113 patients with IPF. In addition to other research, pirfenidone has demonstrated efficacy in patients at all stages of IPF once correct diagnosis has been made. In advanced IPF, we include the requirement for pirfenidone. Therefore, it is essential to choose an appropriate method of administration method, such as inhalation. This may circumvent the drawbacks of the high cost and possible adverse effects of this drug.
特发性肺纤维化(IPF)若不治疗,预后较差;因此,尽早使用吡非尼酮治疗至关重要。Lei进行了一项回顾性分析,以评估早期使用吡非尼酮治疗对113例IPF患者肺功能的有效性。除其他研究外,一旦确诊,吡非尼酮已在IPF各阶段的患者中显示出疗效。在晚期IPF中,我们纳入了使用吡非尼酮的要求。因此,选择合适的给药方法至关重要,如吸入给药。这可能会规避该药物成本高和可能产生的不良反应等缺点。
