What conditions can PFT WITH FOT help diagnose?

The conditions diagnosable through PFT WITH FOT (PULMONARY FUNCTION TEST WITH FORCED OSCILLATION TECHNIQUE) depend on the specific markers the test measures. Results either confirm a suspected diagnosis, support a clinical suspicion requiring further investigation, or effectively exclude the condition the test was screening for. Abnormal results may come from smoking, infections, inflammation, structural lung changes, or uncontrolled disease. A family history of asthma or chronic lung disease can make this test more important.

What do PFT WITH FOT results mean?

Your result is read against the reference range printed on your GetVisit report for your age and sex, and always alongside your symptoms and history. A single value slightly outside the range does not by itself confirm a problem, your doctor decides whether it is significant. The specific high and low patterns for this test are explained in the FAQs below.

How often should PFT WITH FOT be repeated?

For preventive screening with a normal baseline: annually for most adults above 35. For monitoring a known condition: at the interval your specialist recommends, typically every 3 to 6 months for active conditions and annually for stable, well-controlled ones.
