Lung Biopsy To Diagnose PH
I believe it is rare that a doctor recommends an open lung biopsy in PH patients but I have heard of it being done, especially in young children. My son has only had one post transplant because it is a way to check for rejection in the transplanted organ. What I have read is that a lung biopsy is sometimes done on PH patients to check for a possible secondary cause of the disease.
Have you ever had a lung biopsy and if so, was this done when you were an adult or as a child? What were the reasons given for proceeding with this surgery? What information was gained from doing the lung biopsy?
