Lung function tests alone are rarely diagnostic – one exception is the reversible airflow obstruction of asthma. This chapter discusses how they fall into distinct patterns, allowing us to infer the sorts of things that might be wrong. It considers the utility of the classical subdivision of lung volume test results into ‘obstructive’ and ‘restrictive’ defects. The chapter looks at carbon monoxide transfer to see how it sheds further light on the pathophysiology underlying the obstruction or restriction, and allows readers to differentiate restrictive processes into pulmonary and extrapulmonary patterns. Carbon monoxide transfer can be used to determine whether restriction is due to lung disease or extrapulmonary constriction. A high residual volume with normal spirometry and total lung capacity (TLC) is to indicate mild airway disease. When the structure of the entire lung is abnormal, for example in lung fibrosis, gas transfer will be impeded with a low TLC and transfer coefficient.
