Other Diagnostic Studies

Pulmonary function test

• Pulmonary function test may be helpful in the diagnosis of cryptogenic organizing pneumonia.
• Findings suggestive of cryptogenic organizing pneumonia include:
  • The most common finding in cryptogenic organizing pneumonia is mild to moderate restrictive ventilatory defect.
