Long-term alveolar-capillary diffusion impairments after severe SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia [PDF]

Annals of Medicine
Background Persistent respiratory symptoms and impaired gas exchange are common in patients recovering from COVID-19 pneumonia. The Lung Diffusing Capacity for Carbon Monoxide (DLCO) and Carbon Monoxide Transfer Coefficient (KCO) do not adequately ...

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 ...

One-year evolution of DLCO changes and respiratory symptoms in patients with post COVID-19 respiratory syndrome

Infection, 2022
Purpose During a follow-up program of patients admitted for COVID-19 at our non-ICU Unit, we found that 37% of them had decreased diffusing lung capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO) 3–6 months after discharge. This prospective observational study aimed to

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 ...

Mechanisms of Exertional Dyspnea in Patients with Mild COPD and a Low Resting DLCO

COPD, 2021
Patients with mild chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and lower resting diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO) often report troublesome dyspnea during exercise although the mechanisms are not clear. We postulated that in such individuals,
