P267 Dlco predicts disease severity and mortality in bronchiectasis [PDF]

Thorax, 2016
Background Few studies have assessed the role of lung diffusing capacity (DLCO%) in bronchiectasis. We sought to examine the relationship between DLCO% and clinical and radiological variables in a well-defined population of bronchiectasis patients to determine its potential prognostic significance and compare with FEV1%.

Lung clearance index and diffusion capacity for CO to detect early functional pulmonary impairment in children with rheumatic diseases

Pediatric Rheumatology Online Journal, 2021
Background In adults with rheumatic diseases pulmonary complications are relevant contributors to morbidity and mortality. In these patients diffusion capacity for CO (DLCO) is an established method to detect early pulmonary impairment.

Participation of the miR-22-HDAC4-DLCO Axis in Patients with COPD by Tobacco and Biomass

Biomolecules, 2019
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is characterized by airflow limitation and systemic inflammation. The main causes of COPD include interaction between genetic and environmental factors associated with tobacco smoking (COPD-TS) and/or exposure

Reference equations for DLNO and DLCO in Mexican Hispanics: influence of altitude and race

BMJ Open Respiratory Research
Objectives This study aimed to evaluate pulmonary diffusing capacity for nitric oxide (DLNO) and pulmonary diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO) in Mexican Hispanics born and raised at 2240 m altitude (midlanders) compared with those born and ...

Value of lung diffusing capacity for nitric oxide in systemic sclerosis

Physiological Reports, 2019
A decreased lung diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO) in systemic sclerosis (SSc) is considered to reflect losses of alveolar membrane diffusive conductance for CO (DMCO), due to interstitial lung disease, and/or pulmonary capillary blood volume

Faal Paru Difusi [Lung Diffusion: A Review]

Jurnal Respirasi, 2018
Diffusion capacity is useful for measuring ability of pulmonary microcirculation to transfer oxygen and carbon dioxide from alveoli to capillaries. Physiological examination of diffusion is a continuation of physiological examination of ventilation ...

DLCO: adjust for lung volume, standardised reporting and interpretation

European Respiratory Journal, 2017
D.C. Johnson proposed that an adjustment of the predicted value for the diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide (DLCO) based on the measured and predicted lung volume be included in the report of DLCO test results.
