SPIROMETRY
Take Control of Your Respiratory Health
Did you know that approximately 25% of adults over the age of 20 have non-alcoholic fatty liver disease? Left undiagnosed, this condition increases the risk of liver failure, liver cancer, and other health complications.
At R·MEDY, we are ahead of the curve, offering FibroScan®; the best in non-invasive screening tests for fatty liver, and other liver conditions.
What's Spirometry?
A spirometry test at R·MEDY Health measures the amount of air that a person can inhale and exhale and the speed at which they can do so. During the test, patients are asked to take a deep breath and then exhale as forcefully and quickly as possible into the spirometer. This process is repeated several times to obtain accurate measurements of lung capacity and function.
Who is it for?
The Spirometry test at R•MEDY Health is a preventative screening tool used to assess lung health. This examination is often ordered for patients who are experiencing wheezing, shortness of breath or those who have a pre-existing medical conditions such as:
· Asthma
· Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
· Emphysema (lung tissue damage)
· Lung fibrosis
At R·MEDY Health we understand the importance of preventative screening with spirometry as an objective measure of lung function. We invite you to take control of your health.
Why should you get a Spirometry Test?
To Diagnose:
Spirometry is used to diagnose serious respiratory conditions that can cause breathing difficulties and reduced lung function. Early detection of these conditions can lead to expedited treatments and often better outcomes.
To Assess:
Spirometry can be used to assess a person’s lung function and identify any abnormalities. It can also help determine the severity of a lung condition and track changes over time.
To Evaluate:
Spirometry can be used to evaluate the effectiveness of treatments for respiratory conditions. It can help determine if medications or other treatments are improving lung function and reducing symptoms.
To Monitor:
If you have a respiratory condition or are at risk of developing one, regular spirometry tests may be recommended to monitor our lung health and detect any changes early.
