How can PFTs help to distinguish whether a lung disease is obstructive restrictive or both?
JennaHBazzoun
In obstructive lung disease airways are narrowed which results in resistance to air flow during breathing. In restrictive lung disease, expansion of the lung is limited by disease that affects the chest wall, pleura, or lung tissue itself.
