Follow up: The PFT % predicted values are shown. There is no history provided. There is no evidence of obstructive airflow, the total lung capacity is normal. The RV/TLC ratio may be calculated as elevated and/or shown on the report. The DLCO adjusted for volume is normal. If you smoke, please join a cessation program at your local American Lung Association. Avoid smoke exposure and pollutants.
