Doctors use lung diffusion tests to measure how well a person’s lungs exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide. The test can detect lung damage and help diagnose lung conditions, including emphysema and ...
The diffusion capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide (DLCO) is used to measure the body's ability to transfer oxygen across the alveolar-capillary membrane. [1] Internists use this test to identify ...
Reduced diffusing capacity of the lungs for carbon monoxide (DLco) reflects microvasculopathy in chronic thromboembolic ...
Background—Pulmonary diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (Dlco), alveolar capillary membrane diffusing capacity (Dm), and pulmonary capillary blood volume (Vc) are all significantly reduced after ...
From asthma to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), there are a variety of conditions that can affect the lungs. Wheezing or general shortness of breath may be signs that the lungs aren’t ...
