Abnormal results of pulmonary function studies - what does this mean
Abnormal results of pulmonary function studies can occur due to a variety of conditions, including asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (copd), pulmonary fibrosis, and pulmonary hypertension. these conditions can cause a decrease in lung volume, airway obstruction, or an abnormal gas exchange, which can be detected by pulmonary function studies.
What happens during the disease - abnormal results of pulmonary function studies
Pulmonary function studies measure how well the lungs take in and release air and how well they move gases such as oxygen from the atmosphere into the body's circulation. abnormal results of pulmonary function studies can be caused by a variety of conditions, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (copd), asthma, cystic fibrosis, and interstitial lung disease. in many cases, the underlying pathogenesis involves inflammation of the airways leading to airway obstruction, impaired gas exchange, and/or lung tissue damage.
