Abstract

BACKGROUND: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is an interstitial lung disease with a fatal outcome, known for its rapid progression and unpredictable clinical course. However, the tools available for diagnosing and treating IPF are quite limited. This study aims to identify and screen potential biomarkers for IPF diagnosis, thereby providing new diagnostic approaches.
