Hello, A few of the diseases that diminish Lung capacity are: * Asthma. * Chronic Bronchitis. * COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease). * Pneumonia that causes scarring of the Lungs in rare & severe cases can diminish Lung capacity. Please note this is advice only & should not be used in place of a medical experts.
pulmonary fibrosis
pulmonary fibrosis
Increased residual volume and decreased vital capacity typically indicate a restrictive lung disease, such as pulmonary fibrosis or interstitial lung disease. In these conditions, the lungs are not able to expand fully, leading to reduced lung function and impaired gas exchange. It is important to consult a healthcare provider for a proper diagnosis and treatment.
emphysema (C)
Increased lung capacity
Static compliance decreases due to factors like pulmonary fibrosis, lung tissue scarring, or poor surfactant function which results in reduced ability of the lungs to stretch and expand during inhalation, leading to decreased lung capacity and restricted airflow.
Lung capacity can not be increased by a disorder.
My tidal lung capacity was lower. I know the difference because in the tidal lung capacity you are taking in less breath. When you are doing the vital lung capacity, you take in more breath.
it has lung cancer
Exercising increases the lung capacity.
Your total lung capacity is the total volume of the lung after maximum inspiration. (average 6 litres).
The lungs and heart, when diseased or injured could decrease lung capacity. Obesity would also reduce lung capacity
