Pulmonary functionQuality controlInterpretationMeasurement of diffusing capacity of the lungs for carbon monoxide (DLCO), also known as transfer factor, is the second most important pulmonary function test (PFT), after spirometry. Previously available only in hospital-based PFT labs, DLCO testing is ...

The single-breath diffusing capacity of the lung (DLCO) is a commonly performed pulmonary function test. This standardized method for DLCO measurement is based on a full inspiration of a DLCO test gas mix followed by a breath hold phase and a full expiration. The DLCO test gas mix normally ...

Diffucing capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO) is a commonly performed and clinically useful pulmonary function test that provides a quantitative measure of gas transfer in the lungs; it is often abnormal in patients with ILD. It has been known that there is a relationship between the development...

The pulmonary function test (PFT), including spirometry and diffusing capacity (DLCO), was performed before and after three months of EGFR-TKI therapy. After three months, the patients were divided into groups based on the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria and the ...
