What do increased residual volume and decreased vital capacity indicate?

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.
