Diffusing capacity impairment is prevalent in long-term lymphoma survivors after high-dose therapy with autologous stem cell transplantation

You have full access to this article via your institution. The reduction in the patients’ diffusing capacity was marked, and for women and men, respectively, DLCO was 6.09 and 8.56 mmol/kPa/min ...

Pulmonary membrane diffusing capacity and capillary blood volume measured during exercise from nitric oxide uptake.

To validate lung diffusing capacity for nitric oxide (DLNO) as an index of conductance of the alveolar-capillary membrane during exercise, we compared DLNO to lung diffusing capacity for carbon ...

Nitric Oxide Airway Diffusing Capacity and Mucosal Concentration in Asthmatic Schoolchildren

Feno and exhalation flow rate data from 15 asthmatic schoolchildren (age 8–18 y; mean, 14 y) with elevated Feno levels and 15 age-matched control children were used in the model. The children were ...

Simultaneous Measurement of Lung Diffusing Capacity and Pulmonary Hemodynamics Reveals Exertional Alveolar‐Capillary Dysfunction in Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction

Hemodynamic perturbations in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) may alter the distribution of blood in the lungs, impair gas transfer from the alveoli into the pulmonary ...

Reference values for lung function tests: III. Carbon monoxide diffusing capacity (transfer factor)

Carbon monoxide diffusing capacity (DLCO) or transfer factor (TLCO) is a particularly useful test of the appropriateness of gas exchange across the lung alveolocapillary membrane. With the purpose of ...
