DLCO Diffusing Capacity Calculator
Measured DLCO Predicted DLCO DLCO Diffusing Capacity for Carbon Monoxide Explanation and Clinical Context DLCO describes the ability of the lungs to transfer carbon monoxide from the alveoli into the pulmonary capillary blood and is one of the most sensitive indicators of gas exchange function. A normal DLCO reflects adequate alveolar surface area, intact alveolar capillary membrane, and sufficient pulmonary blood vo
