The phrase "abnormalities of lung function" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in medical or scientific contexts when discussing issues related to how the lungs operate.
Example: "The study aimed to identify the abnormalities of lung function in patients with chronic respiratory diseases."
Alternatives: "lung function irregularities" or "lung function anomalies".
However, even in the absence of respiratory diseases some spirometric abnormalities of lung function tests have been reported in patients with AN, including diminished FEV1, likely resulting from respiratory muscle weakness and body mass loss [ 14].
Although COPD is defined by abnormalities of lung function there is convincing evidence that there are two pathological processes that contribute to the functional impairment [ 8]; loss of lung elasticity characterized pathologically by emphysema and inflammatory narrowing and obliteration of the small conducting airways [ 9].
The results of thorough lung function tests were interpreted as normal, with or without early signs of lung function abnormalities.
Finally, the highest AUC CV > CVT) values were found in the subject with signs of lung function abnormalities (subject S12) and in the two patients (P1 and P2) who had documented lung diseases.
The higher rate of lung function abnormalities and breathing medication use in the participants reporting respiratory symptoms validates the symptom reports.
Although our findings did not suggest that SNPs of FSIP1 had an effect on the reversibility of lung function abnormalities in AIA patients, they did show significant evidence of association between the variants in FSIP1 and AIA occurrence among asthmatics in a Korean population.
The shape of the maximum expiratory flow volume (MEFV) curve has been used to characterize patterns of lung function abnormality.
Assessment of lung function parameters in the single-dose elastase model showed abnormalities consistent with human COPD including increased FRC, TLC and increased dynamic lung compliance associated with elastase administration (elastase + UV compared with PBS + UV-treated mice; Figures 6a– 6a).
Long-term exposure can permanently damage lung tissue and result in the loss of lung function.
Postero-anterior and lateral digital chest radiographs were obtained in all the subjects at the time of lung function testing, and were examined by two of the authors (MM, SM) for the presence of heart, pulmonary, and pleural abnormalities.
