I would appreciate if you could review the results of my PFT and give me your analysis or opinion. I am 61 (well in a month anyway) and 70.5 inches tall and 170 pounds. I know almost nothing about most of what is contained here with the exception of PEF and FEV1. I am somewhat concerned by the 145% of predicted for RV and 136% of predicted for FRC. The FEF25-75% and the FEV1/FVC are also concerning. I have no idea whether the DLCO results being over 100% is a good thing or a bad thing so would appreciate your explanation of those numbers as well. Actually I guess I am asking for an interpretation of the entire report.
Thank you
