Normal results in a spirometry test typically indicate that the lungs are functioning effectively, with measurements falling within the expected range for a person's age, gender, height, and ethnicity. Key parameters assessed include Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) and Forced Expiratory Volume in one second (FEV1), where a normal FEV1/FVC ratio is generally above 70%. Normal spirometry results suggest that there is no significant obstruction or restriction in airflow. Any deviations from these norms may indicate respiratory issues that require further evaluation.
The normal range for RDW lab test is 11-15%.

Required number of tests Maneuver induces airway obstruction or bronchodilatation.
Normal TSH levels for adults are 0.5-5.0 mU/L.
Gr : 2,6-6,6
Yes. A spirometry can be normal but asthma still present so it is important to test for reversibility

Try to relax ! A Spirometry test is just to check your lungs are functioning properly. A full explanation of the procedure can be found in the related link to Wikipedia.
Spirometry is covered in medical sciences. Spirometry is a test of the lungs. It's done by putting a plug on the nose, directing all the air to go to the mouth. It measures lung function.
The test produces a recording of the patient's ventilation under conditions involving both normal and maximal effort. The recording, called a spirogram, shows the volume of air moved and the rate at which it travels into and out of the lungs.

Spirometry is a respiratory test that can be done in an office setting to test lung function.
A pulmonary function test (PFT) encompasses a variety of tests that assess lung function, including spirometry, which specifically measures how much air you can inhale and exhale, as well as the speed of exhalation. While spirometry is a key component of PFTs, it does not encompass all aspects of lung function testing. Other components of PFTs may include lung volume measurements and diffusion capacity tests. Therefore, while related, they are not the same; spirometry is just one part of a broader set of evaluations.
That is the correct spelling of "spirometry" (breathing measurement).
It is often the first test performed when a problem with lung function is suspected. Spirometry may also be suggested by an abnormal x ray, arterial blood gas analysis, or other diagnostic pulmonary test result.
Spirometry is a diagnostic method for measuring gases and respiratory function. Incentive spirometry may be ordered to help patients practice and improve controlled breathing.
