These results do not mean anything in isolation. You cannot make the diagnosis of asthma without a reversibility testing. There is a slight decrease in some of the values. However, I do not know how these were performed (as a set of three or one test) or if you have any symptoms at all. I would take these results with a careful history and physical examination and discuss the results with your doctor.
These test were done with a set of three.
I did a pre-RX and post-RX The results for the post-RX was FVC 73%, FEV1 73%.
I was originally told I have asthma but then another specialist said I don't because on the pre-RX test, my DLCO was at 70%, eventhough the FEV1 was at 69%.
Let me know if this helps or you need anything else to help answer my question.
I forgot, I am a 28 y/o male, nonsmoker.
To determine whether you have asthma, generally, the lab will administer testing before and after you take a medication called a bronchodilator. The numbers you have before the medication are compared with the numbers obtained after the medication. You doctor (who ordered the test) will work with you to interpret the test results and explain what s/he believes you have. In general, numbers of 80-120% of predicted are considered in the "normal range."
