Table 2. Pulmonary function test results.
Parameter | Obtained value | Predicted value | % of predicted value | Lower limit of normal |
---|---|---|---|---|
VC [l] | 1.7 | 5.09 | 33.4 | 3.24 |
FEV1/VC [%] | 0.75 | 0.8 | 94.12 | 69.85 |
TLC [l] | 6 | 7.14 | 84.01 | 5.99 |
RV [l] | 71.67 | 32.29 | 221.95 | 2.81 |
DLCOc (mmol/min/kPa) | 6.09 | 10.64 | 57.22 | 8.32 |
VC – vital capacity; FEV1/VC – ratio of forced expiration in the first second to vital capacity; TLC – total lung capacity; RV – residual volume; DLCOc – diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide corrected for hemoglobin. |
