Scans reveal hidden body changes in lung patients

NCT ID NCT07332117

Summary

This study aims to understand how anti-fibrotic medications for lung fibrosis affect patients' body composition—specifically fat and muscle—which regular weight checks might miss. Researchers will use quick, non-invasive scans (bioimpedance analysis and muscle ultrasound) on 30 patients before and 4 months after starting treatment. The goal is to see if these tools can effectively track body changes that may result from medication side effects like nausea and loss of appetite.
