IPF is a progressive disease that tends to worsen over time. The rate of degeneration varies between patients depending upon the age at which it is contracted, health of the patient and response to treatment. Some IPF sufferers are able to maintain a normal lifestyle for years. However, IPF can be disabling and even fatal.
