What is a PFT Pre and Post Test in Pune ?

What is PFT Pre and Post?

PFT Pre and Post measures how well your lungs move air and how the airways respond to a bronchodilator. It records values like forced expiratory volume (FEV1) and forced vital capacity (FVC). Accurate organism identification is clinically essential , typhoid, dengue, and malaria each require different treatment, and the wrong empirical approach delays recovery.

What does PFT Pre and Post measure?

These numbers show airflow and lung volume. They help detect asthma, COPD, and restrictive lung diseases. The pre-test measurement gives a baseline. The post-test after a bronchodilator shows whether airways improve.

What symptoms suggest PFT Pre and Post may be needed?

A doctor may recommend PFT Pre and Post when a patient reports sudden fever (above 38.5°C), body aches and chills, persistent headache, nausea or vomiting, abdominal pain, skin rash, joint pain, and extreme fatigue. Sample collection for Pune is available at labs and at home across Aundh, Kalyani Nagar, and surrounding neighbourhoods.

How is PFT Pre and Post performed?

This test is performed on a swab or fluid sample collected by a trained healthcare professional, not on a routine blood draw. Collection is quick and done at a GetVisit-partnered lab or collection point in Aundh or Kalyani Nagar, Pune, after which the sample is dispatched to the NABL-accredited lab for processing.

How accurate is PFT Pre and Post?

Samples collected in Aundh or Kalyani Nagar, Pune are processed at NABL-accredited labs using validated methods and internal quality control. Accuracy depends on correct collection technique by a trained professional, which GetVisit's partnered centres follow. Reports are accepted by hospitals, specialists, and insurers across India.

Are there any risks to PFT Pre and Post?

Risk is minimal. Swab, sputum, or fluid collection by a trained professional in Aundh or Kalyani Nagar, Pune may cause brief, mild discomfort but no lasting effects. Any specific precaution for your test will be explained at the collection centre.

Did you know?

Doctors use the results to diagnose lung problems, grade severity, check treatment response, and guide medication choices.

Why Take a PFT Pre and Post Test in Pune ?

When does a doctor order PFT Pre and Post?

PFT Pre and Post is usually part of a pulmonary function testing panel used when patients have breathlessness, chronic cough, wheeze or suspected asthma or COPD. Doctors order it to diagnose airway obstruction, measure severity, and see if bronchodilator medicines improve airflow.

Who should get PFT Pre and Post done in Pune?

Pune's rapidly growing population, its large IT and student communities in Hinjewadi, Baner, and Kharadi, rising lifestyle-disease rates, and seasonal monsoon infection peaks make regular preventive diagnostic testing worthwhile for residents across the city. Anyone with fever or flu-like illness in Pune, especially during and after the monsoon, benefits from prompt PFT Pre and Post testing, as do travellers returning from endemic areas and people caring for someone already infected. Residents of Koregaon Park, Pashan, and flood-prone localities face higher seasonal exposure to mosquito- and water-borne infections.

What conditions can PFT Pre and Post help diagnose?

Abnormal results can come from smoking, infections, chronic lung disease, environmental exposures, or some medications. A family history of asthma or COPD may make this test especially important.

What do PFT Pre and Post results mean?

Your result is read against the reference range printed on your GetVisit report for your age and sex, and always alongside your symptoms and history. A single value slightly outside the range does not by itself confirm a problem, your doctor decides whether it is significant. The specific high and low patterns for this test are explained in the FAQs below.

How often should PFT Pre and Post be repeated?

Infection tests are ordered when symptoms are present rather than on a fixed schedule. Repeat testing may be needed to confirm recovery, to check clearance after treatment, or if fever recurs. During Pune's monsoon fever season, prompt retesting is advised for any new febrile illness.

What happens after PFT Pre and Post results are ready?

Once your results appear in your GetVisit profile, discuss them with your doctor or a GetVisit-verified specialist. Your doctor will interpret each value in the context of your full health history, current medications, and symptoms, and advise on the next step: lifestyle change, repeat testing, medication adjustment, or specialist referral. All GetVisit reports are stored permanently and can be shared with any doctor instantly.

Frequently asked questions

What are the two categories of PFT?plus

Pulmonary function tests fall into two main categories: spirometry and full lung function testing. Spirometry assesses airflow and obstruction using measures like FEV1 and FVC. Full lung function tests measure lung volumes (via body plethysmography or gas dilution) and gas transfer (diffusing capacity/DLCO), helping detect restrictive disease and quantify gas-exchange impairment.

What should you not do before a PFT test?plus

Do not smoke for at least an hour before the test; avoid vigorous exercise for 30 minutes; don’t use bronchodilator inhalers or other respiratory medications unless your clinic has told you to continue (follow their instructions); avoid heavy meals and alcohol beforehand; and don’t wear tight clothing that restricts breathing. Arrive rested and bring a list of current medications.

What is pre and post-bronchodilator?plus

Pre-bronchodilator measurement is the spirometry (lung function) reading taken before giving a bronchodilator. Post-bronchodilator is the repeat measurement taken after inhaling a bronchodilator (usually 10–15 minutes later). Comparing the two assesses reversibility of airflow obstruction; a significant rise in FEV1 (generally ≥12% and ≥200 mL) suggests reversible airway disease such as asthma.

What is the normal range of PFT?plus

Pulmonary function normal ranges vary by age, sex, height and ethnicity. Typical cutoffs: FEV1 and FVC ≥80% of predicted, FEV1/FVC ratio ≥70% (or above the lower limit of normal for age), total lung capacity (TLC) 80–120% predicted, and diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO) 80–120% predicted. Values outside these ranges suggest obstructive, restrictive, or gas-exchange impairment.

Can I drink coffee or tea before PFT Pre and Post?plus

If PFT Pre and Post needs fasting, avoid tea and coffee (even without sugar) during the fasting window, as they can affect some results; plain water is fine. If no fasting is required, your usual drinks are okay.

Can I exercise before PFT Pre and Post?plus

Avoid strenuous exercise for 12 to 24 hours before PFT Pre and Post, since intense activity can temporarily change several blood markers. Light everyday movement is fine.
