AB Pulmonary  function  testing  encompasses  a  variety  of  techniques  and  tests.  The  indications  for  pulmonary  function  testing  include:  (1)  documenting  the  presence  of  obstructive  or  restrictive  abnormalities  in  the  course  of  establishing  a  diagnosis,  (2)  monitoring  the  course  of  a  known  pulmonary  disease  (e.g.  cystic  fibrosis,  asthma),  (3)  monitoring  for  pulmonary  toxicity  related  to  treatment  (e.g.  amiodarone,  radiation,  chemotherapy),  (4)  monitoring  response  to  therapy,  and  (5)  describing  normal  and  abnormal  lung  growth.
