A member asked:
What are the options for treating shrinking lung syndrome (sls)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
SLE treatment: Immunosuppressives & steroids inhaled/oral are usually first line. Other therapies include beta agonist inhalers ( several in market). Sls generally has good prognosis but in rare cases lung transplant is another alternative if needed.
