Value of lung diffusing capacity for nitric oxide in systemic sclerosis

| Color Research & Application Verified
Abstract A decreased lung diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO) in systemic sclerosis (SSc) is considered to reflect losses of alveolar membrane diffusive conductance for CO (DMCO), due to interstitial lung disease, and/or pulmonary capillary blood volume (VC), due to vasculopathy. However, standard DLCO does not allow separate DMCO from VC. Lung diffusing capacity for nitric oxide (DLNO) is considered to be more sensitive to decrement of alveolar membrane diffusive conductance than DLCO.
