Sarcoidosis – Diagnosis, Treatments & Life Expectancy

Pulmonary Function Test

A pulmonary function test is actually a group of different exams that can determine the functions of your lungs. These include your ability to breathe in and out or the effectiveness of transporting oxygen to different parts of the body. This is an effective way to find out any issues with your lungs, which are the most commonly affected organ in people with sarcoidosis. Even when you are suffering from the condition, a pulmonary function test can be helpful in measuring the progression or the response of your body to the treatments. [4]
