Different K(CO) and V(A) combinations exist for the same DL(CO) value in patients with diffuse parenchymal lung diseases

BACKGROUND: DL(CO) is the product of the CO transfer coefficient (K(CO)) by the “accessible” alveolar volume (V(A)). In theory, the same DL(CO) may result from various combinations of K(CO) and V(A) values, each of which reflect different injury sites and mechanisms. We sought to determine in this s...
