Hypertension in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis: evidence of immune and genetic links from clinical and genomic analyses.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive interstitial lung disease (ILD) with high mortality and a high prevalence of comorbidities. Hypertension is among the most common extrapulmonary complications, but the underlying mechanisms linking IPF and hypertension remain poorly understood. This study aimed to explore the potential causal relationship and shared immune-genetic mechanisms between...
