How to treat pulmonary ferritin-containing hyperplasia

Because the etiology and pathogenesis of pulmonary ferritinosis are not yet clear, there is no specific treatment plan. Generally, during acute attacks, symptomatic treatment such as bed rest, oxygen, hemostasis, etc., as well as prevention of hemoptysis, asphyxia and secondary infection should be given active anti-infective treatment. Patients with moderate anemia or above should be given blood transfusion, and erythropoietin and iron supplements can also be applied. Prednisone can be used in small doses because adrenal glucocorticosteroids can increase the stability of cell membranes and reduce vascular exudation, which can improve the bleeding symptoms of patients. For patients with poor results of adrenal glucocorticosteroid treatment, immunosuppressants can be combined with a course of treatment for more than one year to effectively control symptoms and reduce acute attacks. When the disease progresses to advanced stage combined with pulmonary fibrosis emphysema, pulmonary heart disease and respiratory failure, ventilator-assisted ventilation or lung transplantation can be performed.
