Lecture: NSIP and OP
This 16-mins lecture discusses NSIP and OP
Current Post
A 52-years old man presented with a probable UIP pattern in 2018.
At this age, this is indistinguisable from a fibrotic NSIP pattern. He was a non-smoker and had no etiology including connective tissue disease (CTD).
He progressed and had a successful lung transplant.
8 years later, his elder brother presented with mild breathlessness and a CT scan shows a typical UIP pattern.
The video runs through both cases and then discusses the findings in a third brother with a detailed discussion of the current concepts related to familial pulmonary fibrosis (FPF).
