Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is the most common type of pulmonary fibrosis. It is a disease that causes scarring (fibrosis) of the lungs. The word "idiopathic" means it has no known cause. Scarring causes stiffness in the lungs and makes it difficult to breathe.
ICD-10-CM code I27. 23 (pulmonary hypertension due to lung disease and hypoxia) is reported for this type.

The four stages of pulmonary fibrosis are mild, moderate, severe, and very severe. A patient's disease stage is determined by their lung capacity and the severity of their symptoms.Aug 16, 2019
When a person is diagnosed with PF, sometimes a doctor is able to find the cause of the disease. In many cases a doctor can't find a reason why a person has developed pulmonary fibrosis. When the cause of the disease is not known, the fibrosis may be termed “idiopathic."
