Diffuse cutaneous subset, presence of antitopoisomerase-I antibodies, decreased baseline forced vital capacity (FVC) and diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO) were reported to be significantly associated with lung progression in patients with SSc, while positive anticentromere antibody (ACA) was protective. (bmj.com)
A test of the diffusing capacity of the lungs for carbon monoxide (DLCO, also known as transfer factor for carbon monoxide or TLCO), is one of the most clinically valuable tests of lung function. (glideclubgdynia.pl)
Chronic obstructive pulmonary dis… The DLCO Test refers to the diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide in the lungs. (glideclubgdynia.pl)
The purpose of this prospective study was to detect early the presence of pulmonary artery vasculopathy in patients with verified systemic sclerosis without significant pulmonary fibrosis, normal lung volumes and a mildly reduced lungdiffusion capacity of carbon monoxide (DLCO). (biomedcentral.com)
Therefore, carbon monoxide absorption is diffusion limited and depends on diffusion characteristics of the Both the experiments described above were designed to incorporate different physiological factors that, under normal circumstances, make oxygen perfusion limited and CO diffusion limited.

We observed a positive correlation between GH level at diagnosis and DLCO value, showing that acromegalic patients have an increase in static and dynamic respiratory volumes and alveolar-capillary exchange surface compared to the general population. (scirp.org)
After replacing the diseased liver in HPS patients, the lungs return to normal within approximately one year3. (rarediseases.org)
DLCO and DLCO/VA were significantly lower in asthma patients who had dysphagia symptoms. (qxmd.com)
The DLCO was abnormal in 38 patients. (ijcdas.com)
Majority of the patients with SSc had restrictive lung disease with abnormal DLCO and features resembling non-specific interstitial pneumonia. (ijcdas.com)
Compared with non-severe cases, severe patients showed higher incidence of DLCO impairment (75.6%vs42.5%, p = 0.019), higher lung total severity score (TSS) and R20, and significantly lower percentage of predicted TLC and 6MWD. (biomedcentral.com)
Compared with non-severe cases, severe patients had a higher incidence of DLCO impairment and encountered more TLC decrease and 6MWD decline. (biomedcentral.com)
Postoperative predicted DLCO (ppDLCO) may be used to identify high-risk patients preoperatively. (mhmedical.com)

Lungs2
Muscular weakness can also cause abnormal test results, even if the lungs are normal, that is similar to the diseases that cause smaller lungs. (ucsfhealth.org)
In normal, healthy lungs, this will be 70% or above. (aidsmap.com)
Interstitial1
Be aware however that low DLco is a non-specific finding and it can be present in far advanced stages of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) as well as in other types of restrictive interstitial diseases. (cdc.gov)
Restrictive2
Unlike obstructive lung diseases, such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), which show a normal or increased total lung capacity (TLC), restrictive disease are associated with a decreased TLC. (medscape.com)
