Pulmonary diffusing capacity in chronic renal failure
British Journal of Diseases of the Chest, 1981Reduced carbon monoxide diffusing capacity (DLCO) is a frequent and often isolated pulmonary physiological abnormality in patients with chronic renal failure. In 20 patients with chronic renal failure who had normal spirometry (FEV1 and FVC greater than 80% of predicted) and near normal chest roentgenograms (three had mild cardiomegaly), the DLCO was ...

Pulmonary Diffusing Capacity in Cigarette Smokers
Annals of Internal Medicine, 1962Excerpt Cigarette smoking is an increasingly popular indulgence in this country, as the per capita consumption of cigarettes is higher today than at any time in the history of the tobacco industry ...

Measurement of diffusing capacity in pulmonary embolism
Respiratory Medicine, 1989Pulmonary function tests were carried out in 20 consecutive patients with pulmonary embolism (PE), diagnosed on the basis of a positive ventilation-perfusion lung scan carried out within 72 h of admission. Changes in forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1), forced vital capacity (FVC) and arterial blood gas tensions were too variable to be ...

Pulmonary Diffusing Capacity in Left Ventricular Dysfunction
Chest, 1990The purpose of this study was to determine whether there are any consistent spirometric or Dsb findings in patients with LV dysfunction characterized by a clinical diagnosis of CHF and an EF less than 40 percent. We performed spirometry and Dsb in 34 patients, and found that EF correlated only with Dsb.

Diffusion and Pulmonary Diffusion Capacity
Abstract One of the major roles of the lungs is to facilitate gas exchange from the circulatory system and the external environment. Gas exchange occurs in the lungs between alveolar air and blood of the pulmonary capillaries. A test of the diffusing capacity of the lungs for carbon monoxide (DLCO, also known as transfer factor for ...Anna Moldysz, Archit Sharma

Pulmonary Diffusing Capacity during Exercise in Women
Chest, 1973Steady state exercise diffusing capacities at three different levels of work have been measured in 46 women, aged 20 to 59. All the subjects had normal resting pulmonary function tests and normal chest radiographs. There was an age dependent decline in the exercise diffusing capacity of the lung at all work levels, which became more marked after the ...

INCREASE OF PULMONARY DIFFUSING CAPACITY IN SYSTEMIC SCLEROSIS
Rheumatology, 1994Pulmonary function tests and chest radiographs of 29 non-smoking systemic sclerosis (SSc) patients were analysed, featuring an apparently paradoxic finding of an increased diffusing lung capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO). Twenty-one patients (72%) had abnormal pulmonary function, 11 of them had restrictive disease (38%), six (21%) had isolated DLCO ...

Smoking and pulmonary diffusing capacity.
Scandinavian journal of respiratory diseases, 1975The pulmonary diffusing capacity (DLCO SB) and its two components, the capillary blood volume (Vc) and the diffusing capacity of the membrane (DMCO), expressed in absolute values and per litre of alveolar volume (VA'), were measured at rest and on exercise in healthy male smokers and nonsmokers of similar age and height, and with identical values for ...

Physical Training and the Pulmonary Diffusing Capacity
Diseases of the Chest, 1969The effects of nine weeks of physical training on certain ventilatory variables and the pulmonary diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide were studied in ten university distance runners. A nonexercising control group of five medical students was also investigated.
