What is your approach to treatment in a patient with radiographic UIP but pathologic evidence of both fibrotic NSIP and UIP?

Do you start anti-inflammatory agents, anti-fibrotic agents, or both?

Depends on the underlying etiology and progression. I will most likely use antifibrotics, particularly for IPF or progressive fibrosis, but include immune suppression for autoimmune-related ILD.
