초록

배 경 :폐확산능 (DLCO)과 폐용적을 보정한 확산계수(DLCO/VA; KCO)는 폐포용적이 비 정상적인 경우 차이가 생긴다. 그러나, 기류제한으로 비 정상적인 폐포용적을 가지는 환자에서 이러한 차이의 의미는 연구되지 않았다. 본 연구는 기류제한이 있는 환자에서 기류제한의 호전에 따른 폐확산능과 확산계수의 변화를 연구하고자 한다. 방 법 :기류제한이 있는 환자에서 기저 폐기능과 더불어 폐확산능을 측정하고, 일회호흡 CH4 희석법으로 폐포용적을 측정하였다. 기저치에 따라서 환자는 다음의 두 군으로 나누었다. 확산계수(예측치에 대한 백분율)와 확산능(예측치에 대한 백분율)의 비가 115%를 넘는 경우를 고차이군으로 하였고, 115% 미만인 경우를 저차이군으로 하였다. 기류제한을 치료 한 후 폐기능검사와 폐확산능을 반복해서 측정하였다.

Abstract

Background : The single-breath carbon monoxide diffusion capacity (DLCO) and the per unit alveolar volume (KCO; DLCO/VA) gave discordant values when there was an abnormal alveolar volume (VA). However, the clinical significance of the discordant values in patients with airflow limitation has not been examined. This study investigated the DLCO and KCO changes after improving the airflow limitation. Methods : The baseline DLCO and KCO with lung volume were measured in patients with an airflow obstruction. The effective alveolar volume was measured using the single-breath CH4 dilution method. The patients divided into two groups according to the baseline values: (1) increased KCO in comparison with the DLCO (high discordance) (2) decreased or not increased KCO in comparison with the DLCO (low discordance). The diffusion capacity and lung volume were measured after treatment. Results : There was no significant difference in the baseline lung volumes including the FEV1 and FVC between the two groups. The FEV1 and FVC were significantly increased in the high discordance group compared with the low discordance group after treating the airflow limitation. The DLCO and alveolar volume were significant higher in the high discordance group compared with the low discordance group while the TLC was not. Conclusion : The discordance between the DLCO and KCO could be translated into an airflow reversibility in patients with an airflow limitation. (Tuberc Respir Dis 2005; 59: 374-379)
