LAM Fact Sheet
How does LAM Progress?
As the LAM cells enlarge there is a fall in lung function but the rate at which this occurs varies markedly between patients. A few patients still have moderately preserved lung function after 20 years whilst others are less fortunate and deteriorate quite rapidly. Most patients are between these extremes. Looking at change in lung function over a period of time gives a good indication of the rate at which the disease is progressing.
