I have told I have NRIP the first word is NON last word I think is pneumonia any clues I should have asked the consultant

The only thing I can think of is Non-secific respiratory tract infection but it doesn't quite fit the initials (NRIP).

I hope someone else knows.

The only one I know of is NSIP - Non-specific interstitial pneumonia

Give the BLF Helpline a call, or call the hospital and ask.

NSIP - Non specific intestitial pneumonitis is what I have - a type of pulmonary fibrosis ( scarring of the lung) Could it be that?
