Abstract
A novel method of treating fibrotic disorders in humans comprises the administration of a sufficient quantity of a composition containing a human alpha- or beta-interferon to raise the total concentration of such interferon in the affected tissue area to about 10 to about 4.times.10.sup.7 IU per cubic centimeter. The interferons used can be naturally derived or recombinant DNA-derived. The interferon composition can be administered by any indicated conventional method and can include any pharmaceutically acceptable, interferon-compatible vehicle.
