Pulmonary fibrosis refers to scarring of the lung tissue (fibrosis of the lungs). Symptoms of pulmonary fibrosis include: Cough; Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing; Decreased exercise tolerance; The most common type of pulmonary fibrosis is called idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis; its cause is not understood.
Primary myelofibrosis is a condition characterized by the buildup of scar tissue (fibrosis) in the bone marrow, the tissue that produces blood cells. Because of the fibrosis, the bone marrow is unable to make enough normal blood cells. The shortage of blood cells causes many of the signs and symptoms of primary myelofibrosis. Initially, most people with primary myelofibrosis have no signs or symptoms. Eventually, fibrosis can lead to a reduction in the number of red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. A shortage of red blood cells (anemia) often causes extreme tiredness (fatigue) or shortness of breath.
