Fibrotic disorders are medical conditions characterized by the excessive formation of fibrous connective tissue, leading to the thickening and scarring of organs. This abnormal tissue growth can disrupt normal function and may occur in various parts of the body, including the lungs, liver, and skin. Common examples include pulmonary fibrosis and liver cirrhosis. The exact causes of fibrotic disorders can vary and may include chronic inflammation, autoimmune diseases, and exposure to certain toxins. Symptoms often depend on the affected organ but can include difficulty breathing, fatigue, and swelling. Early diagnosis and management are crucial to slowing disease progression and improving quality of life.
