Pulmonary Test:
Pulmonary tests, also known as lung function tests or pulmonary function tests (PFTs), are a group of tests that measure how well your lungs are functioning. These tests can help diagnose respiratory conditions, monitor lung health, and evaluate the effectiveness of treatment. Common pulmonary tests include:
Spirometry: Measures how much air you can inhale and exhale, as well as how quickly you can exhale. It can help diagnose conditions such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and restrictive lung diseases.
Peak Expiratory Flow (PEF): Measures how fast you can exhale forcefully, which can be useful in monitoring asthma and assessing its severity.
Lung Volume Tests: Measure the total volume of air in your lungs and the distribution of air between different lung compartments. These tests can help diagnose restrictive lung diseases.
Diffusion Capacity: Measures how well oxygen moves from your lungs into your bloodstream. It can help diagnose conditions that affect the lung's ability to transfer oxygen, such as pulmonary fibrosis.
Arterial Blood Gas (ABG) Test: Measures the levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide in your blood, as well as the acidity (pH) of your blood. It can help assess how well your lungs are oxygenating your blood.
Bronchial Provocation Tests: Used to diagnose asthma, these tests involve inhaling a substance that can trigger bronchial spasms, followed by spirometry to measure the lung function changes.
Exercise Stress Test: Measures how exercise affects your lung function and oxygen levels, useful in evaluating exercise-induced asthma or other exercise-related respiratory issues.
Methacholine Challenge Test: Similar to bronchial provocation tests, this test is used to diagnose asthma by measuring how your airways react to inhaling methacholine, a substance that can trigger bronchial spasms.
Lung Imaging: Techniques such as X-rays, CT scans, and MRI scans can provide detailed images of the lungs and help diagnose conditions such as lung cancer, pneumonia, or pulmonary embolism.
At AMMA DIAGNOSTIC CENTRE, we offer a range of pulmonary tests to assess lung function and diagnose respiratory conditions. Our experienced team can help you understand your test results and develop a personalized treatment plan if needed.

What do the results mean?
Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the when an unknown printer on took a galley of type scrambled it to make a type specimen book it has survived and not five centuries be also the leap into electronic typesetting remaining essentially and unchanged. It was popularised in with the release sheets containing passages and more recently with desktop.
