Has anyone had a diffusion capacity test come back with FRC N2, ERV, RV, RV/TLC, DLCO, DLCO/VA & VA well below normal (around 50%)?

Hello @fighter, There is another discussion where your post will be visible to more members with Interstitial Lung Disease who may be able to share their experience with the abnormal diffusion capacity test. I'm tagging our moderator @ethanmcconkey to see if we should move your post to the following discussion:

I did find some information about the test that may be helpful.

Did your doctor offer any information as to what your results mean and what kind of treatment might help?
