 , I recently had my PFT done and the results are a bit confusing for me. I was hoping someone might be able to shed a little light on it for me. I am also curious how it is determined when trying to figure out possible life expectancy with this. test Predicted Actual % expected FVC 3.10 2.97 96 FEV1 2.55 1.0 39 FEV1/FVC 82 34 41 FEF25% 4.92 0.77  FEF50% 4.18 0.40 10 FEF75% 1.65 0.23 14 FEF25-75% 2.82 0.34 12 FEF MAX 6.22 2.18 35 SVC 3.10 2.84 92 IC 1.96 1.85 94 ERV 1.14 0.95 84 RV/TLC 31 50 161 RV 1.36 2.84 209 TGV 2.35 3.83 163 TLC 4.31 5.68 132 DLCO 17.60 12.33 70 DL/VA 4.08 2.62 64 VA 4.31 4.71 109 IVC 2.75 RAW 1.86 3.78 203 GAW 1.03 0.27 26 sRAW <4.76 .91 sGAW 0.20 0.06 30 I should also add that I tested normal for Alpha-1 I am a 41 year old caucasion woman height 5 feet 0 inches weight 105 lbs BMI 21.3 Also curious if this test tells me that I have 39% of my lungs working? Thanks to anyone who might be able to help with this very confusing bunch of numbers. Nikki  |
