Honeycomb lung - is known as pulmonary fibrosis, because the CT film looks like a honeycomb, so it is also called honeycomb lung.
Pulmonary fibrosis is a serious lung disease, once the fibrosis of the lungs occurs, it is irreversible, mainly manifested by scarring and stiffness of the lungs. It causes symptoms such as difficulty breathing, coughing, fatigue, and can have a serious impact on the patient's quality of life. At present, there is no specific medicine or effective medicine or means in Western medicine**Pulmonary fibrosis, so how does pulmonary fibrosis come about?When cells in the lungs are damaged, the body repairs them automatically. However, if the lungs continue to be damaged, the body cannot repair the tissues in this part normally, and the original position is occupied by fibrous tissue, and finally fibrotic tissue without gas exchange function is formed, which is what we hear about pulmonary fibrosis, large white lung, etc. In addition to this, the continued overreaction of the immune system to damage the cells in the lungs is also responsible for the accumulation of fibrosis.
This is probably the cause of pulmonary fibrosis. As a result of pulmonary fibrosis, it is important to have repeated damage to lung cells. There are many causes of pulmonary fibrosis, such as the pesticide paraquat, radiation injury, pneumonia, drugs, etc.
