How Can Spirometry Data Be Interpreted in Toxicology?
Interpreting spirometry data in toxicology involves comparing the measured values against predicted norms based on age, sex, height, and ethnicity. Decreased FEV1 or FVC values can indicate obstructive or restrictive lung disease. Longitudinal spirometry data can also track changes in lung function over time, providing insights into the progression of disease or the effectiveness of interventions.
