From what I have been told and what I have read, there are many causes for Biapical Scarring, such as Tuberculosis or pneumonia. In and of itself, it is not really specific to any one diagnosis, but only a Pulmonologist can give you a definitive diagnosis.
Pleural parenchymal scarring is a type of scarring that occurs in the lining of the lungs. It can result from an injury to the lung or infections like tuberculosis or pneumonia. Often the infection or injury has healed but leaves behind some scar tissue. The term biapical indicates that the precise location of the scarring is at the upper tips of the lungs. Radiologists can see evidence of this type of scarring in MRI images and CT scans. While circumstances may indicate the need for further action, quite often doctors decide to simply monitor the condition for possible changes.
No, biapical focal fibrosis is not the same as pulmonary fibrosis. Pulmonary fibrosis is a general term used to describe a group of conditions that cause scarring of the lung tissue. It is a progressive, long-term condition that can eventually lead to respiratory failure. Pulmonary fibrosis can be caused by a variety of factors, including environmental exposures, some medications, or underlying medical conditions. Biapical focal fibrosis is a specific type of pulmonary fibrosis. It is characterized by localized scarring of the lung tissue in two different areas of the lung, the apex and the base. This condition is more common in women and is often caused by an autoimmune response. Biapical focal fibrosis can be difficult to diagnose due to the localized nature of the scarring, but it can be identified through a combination of physical exam, imaging, and laboratory tests. Treatment options are limited and typically involve corticosteroids to reduce inflammation and other medications to slow the progression of the disease. In summary, biapical focal fibrosis is not the same as pulmonary fibrosis. While pulmonary fibrosis is a general term used to describe a group of lung diseases, biapical focal fibrosis is a specific type of pulmonary fibrosis characterized by localized scarring in two different areas of the lung.
Bi means two, and apical refers to an apex, so typically this term would refer to the two apices (top pointed part) of the lungs. For example, there may be biapical scarring in the lungs from an old TB infection.
Fibrotic scarring is what happens after the removal of the foot.
you can if it's minor scarring, if so go to the store and look for acne scarring cream . if deep scarring your screwed.
Such scarring of the liver is called cirrhosis.Cirrhosis of the liver.
What does mild apical lung scarring mean from the imaged lung apices?
What does mild apical lung scarring mean from the imaged lung apices?
Glomerular sclerosis is the medical term meaning scarring of the glomerules. This scarring can manifest as protein spillage in the urine (proteinuria) when the glomerules no longer filter effectively.
Scarring of the lung tissue decreases the amount of surface area that is available for gas exchange to take place in your lungs. So if your scarring was severe and irreversible, yes
Yep. Really, any type of movement can cause HT scarring
Try homemade remedies such as putting on a honey mask every night to get rid of scarring.
