UIP. Usual interstitial pneumonia. Another way of saying pulmonary fibrosis. This was noted in an early CT scan that I had.

Usual interstitial pneumonia ( <b>UIP</b>) is a form of lung disease characterized by progressive scarring of both lungs. [1] The scarring ( fibrosis) involves the pulmonary interstitium (the supporting framework of the lung). <b>UIP</b> is thus classified as a form of interstitial lung disease

Ping Xu, I recently had a second opinion at the Cleveland Clinic but I did it as a video visit. If your appointment is strictly to discuss your condition with a doctor, I recommend that you try a virtual visit before making a five-hour drive. I was very pleased with the doctor that I met with and am very glad that I sought a second opinion at the Cleveland Clinic.
