  1. Understanding Lung Function Tests (LFT) Lung Function Tests (LFTs) are vital diagnostic tools that assess how well your lungs are working. These tests measure lung capacity, efficiency of air movement, and gas exchange. Common types include spirometry, which measures how much air you can inhale and exhale, and diffusion capacity tests, assessing how gases move from the lungs to the bloodstream. LFTs help diagnose conditions like asthma, COPD, and evaluate lung function before surgeries. Results aid in treatment planning and monitoring respiratory health. If you experience breathing difficulties, consult with a pulmonologist who can recommend and interpret these crucial tests.
