Assessment and follow-up of interstitial lung disease by Devarasetti Phani Kumar

“…The finding of a normal or increased forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1)/forced vital capacity (FVC) ratio in the presence of reduced FVC on spirometry should alert for the presence of a restrictive defect and the need to order for complete lung function tests, including lung volumes and diffusion capacity of the lungs for carbon monoxide (DLCO) and 6-minute walk test (6MWT). High-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) is required to identify the specific patterns. …”
