Clinical utility of lung diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (DLco) in children: a retrospective single-center study [PDF]

BMC Pulmonary Medicine
Background Diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (DLco) testing is widely used in adult respiratory medicine, but its role in pediatric care remains unclear. This study aimed to assess the diagnostic and clinical utility of DLco testing in children at a

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,

DLco, Kco and FVC/DLco in suspected systemic sclerosis-associated pulmonary hypertension: Insights from the ASPIRE registry

ERJ Open Research
Objectives There are limited data comparing parameters reflecting gas transfer used to assess the likelihood of pulmonary hypertension (PH) in patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc) and regarding the impact of transitioning to Global Lung Initiative (GLI)-predicted values.

Lower DLco% identifies exercise pulmonary hypertension in patients with parenchymal lung disease referred for dyspnea

Pulmonary Circulation, 2020
Exercise pulmonary hypertension is an underappreciated form of physical limitation related to early pulmonary vascular disease. A low diffusing capacity of lungs for carbon monoxide (DLco) can be seen in patients with resting pulmonary hypertension as ...

Busting the Myths of DLco for Pulmonary Trainees: Isolated Reductions in DLco and the Relationship with VA

Journal of Respiration
Background: DLco remains one of the most commonly performed tests in the pulmonary lab. An isolated reduction in DLco is a unique abnormality with specific differentials when evaluating a patient with dyspnea. There remains a significant misunderstanding

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).
