“Oftentimes when patients are diagnosed with interstitial lung disease, they already have a lot of damage to their lungs that may not recover and limits how effective treatments can be,” said researcher John S. Kim, MD, of UVA Health’s Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care. “Our goal is to identify treatments that can prevent ILD, and an important step to do this is identify adults at risk of developing this disease in the future.”
