DLCO big decline, but no deterioration in symptoms
Hi all, my dad just had his long awaited Lung function tests which were postponed due to Covid, and the results were puzzling to say the least and im wondering if anyone has had any similar experiences.
Basically the FVC number is stable so is his energy level and his O2 saturation is stable and in the high 90s, no issues or deterioration, BUT his DLCO has dropped significantly. last time his DLCO had dropped he felt fatigue all the time, you could see the symptoms before the test, but he doesnt have any issues this time around, so we are very confused as to how his DLCO is so low, the lowest it has ever been but everything else is pretty stable and reasonable? Has anyone experienced this situation? would love to hear our views.
Thaks!
