How reliable are results from a lung biopsy.(VAT’s)?

Mine on 2013 diagnosed Usual Interstitial Pneumonitis (UIP), but my Consiltant disagreed and has treated me since for Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis. Now my condition is getting worse and I do not know who was right.

You are entitled to a second opinion, which if think that your condition is getting worse, then I think you should pursue that option.

We put ourselves in the hands of the professionals and hope they can treat our conditions but the doctors are not always right and you have every right to question this. Request a second opinion x
