Pulmonary Fibrosis is an illness in which the air sacs of the lungs are gradually replaced by scar tissue. As the disease progresses the scar tissue interferes with the lungs ability to transfer oxygen from the lungs to the bloodstream. Eventually a person with PF will die from heart or respiratory failure. In the U.S. alone more than 200,000 suffer from this disease. Of these, more than 40,000 will die annually until we find a cure. If you should require additional information, please contact me at toddkramer@sbcglobal.net or home phone (847) 759-8210.
