PFT results...: The FEV1 and FVC indicate you do not have any airway obstruction at the time of the test. You could still have asthma with this result but emphysema and chronic bronchitis are unlikely. The TLCO, or diffusing capacity, is a bit low and this can be due to a multitude of reasons, one of the most common is anemia. I am unsure what KCO stands for so if you can write back and tell me, I can answer this
