Q

what will PFTs show for ALS (6 things)

A

RESTRICTIVE

1) decr FEV1, FVC but normal ratio
2) decr TLC
3) decr FVC in supine
4) decr MIP and MEP
5) decr max voluntary ventilation (measure volume after max expiration/inspriation for 12s)
6) normal DLCO initially but can then lead to atelectasis and shunt from prolonged hypoventilation

36 y/o 1-2 week of swelling in hand and face
hemoptysis
decr urinary frequency

lab shows acute renal failure

decr urinary frequency

lab shows acute renal failure
urine shows protein, RBC, WBC, granular casts

A

restrictive disease with incr DLCO

all blood filling alveoli
ineffective Hb binds CO

32
Q

pulm manifestation of goodpastures
