DLCO versus DLCO/VA as predictors of pulmonary gas exchange [PDF]

Respiratory Medicine, 2007
The diffusing capacity of the lung is usually reported as both the diffusing capacity (DLCO) and the diffusing capacity divided by the alveolar volume (DLCO/VA). However, it is unclear which measure to use when interpreting pulmonary gas exchange. We therefore conducted this study to determine whether the DLCO or the DLCO/VA is a better predictor of ...

Relevance of partitioning DLCO to detect pulmonary hypertension in systemic sclerosis. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
We investigated whether partitioning DLCO into membrane conductance for CO (DmCO) and pulmonary capillary blood volume (Vcap) was helpful in suspecting precapillary pulmonary (arterial) hypertension (P(A)H) in systemic sclerosis (SSc) patients with or ...

Relationship between diffusion capacity and small airway abnormality in COPDGene [PDF]

Respiratory Research, 2019
Impaired single breath carbon monoxide diffusing capacity (DLCO) is associated with emphysema. Small airways disease (SAD) may be a precursor lesion to emphysema, but the relationship between SAD and DLCO is undescribed. We hypothesized that in mild COPD,

The diffusing capacity of the lungs for carbon monoxide - an independent predictor of interstitial lung disease in patients with rheumatoid arthritis - results of a prospective study [PDF]

Romanian Journal of Rheumatology, 2023
Background. The diffusing capacity of the lungs for carbon monoxide (DLCO) represents the most sensitive independent factor for highlighting the interstitial lung disease associated with rheumatoid arthritis (RA-ILD).

Role of single-breath diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

Al-Azhar Assiut Medical Journal, 2021
Background Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a common, preventable, and treatable disease characterized by persistent respiratory symptoms and airflow limitation that is due to airway and/or alveolar abnormalities, usually caused by ...

Association of abnormal pulmonary vasculature on CT scan for COVID-19 infection with decreased diffusion capacity in follow up: A retrospective cohort study

PLoS ONE, 2021
Background Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a respiratory viral illness causing pneumonia and systemic disease. Abnormalities in pulmonary function tests (PFT) after COVID-19 infection have been described.

Isolated abnormal diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (iso↓DLco) is associated with increased respiratory symptom burden in people with HIV infection.

PLoS ONE, 2023
ObjectivesAn isolated reduction in the diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (DLco; iso↓DLco) is one of the most common pulmonary function test (PFT) abnormalities in people living with HIV (PWH), but its clinical implications are incompletely ...
