Brief Answer:
This PFT report is showing mixed pattern.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on Ask a doctor forum.
I can understand your concern.
I have gone through the PFT report you have attached.
This report is suggestive of mixed pattern, both obstructive and restrictive pattern.
This is commonly seen with long standing asthma.
And prognosis depends on the treatment he is taking.
If he takes regular inhaled treatment along with oral antihistamine and anti allergic drugs, he will have good prognosis.
So please let me know
1. Since how many years he is suffering from asthma?
2. Which treatment he is taking for asthma?
Please reply me answers of above asked questions, so that I can guide you better. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing him good health. Thanks.
