Value of lung diffusing capacity for nitric oxide in systemic sclerosis
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,...
