Carbon monoxide and nitric oxide diffusion capacity of formerly exposed asbestos workers with high-resolution computed tomography in a cross-sectional study

Carbon monoxide and nitric oxide diffusion capacity of formerly exposed asbestos workers with high-resolution computed tomography in a cross-sectional study

Abstract Asbestos exposure can induce pulmonary fibrosis known as asbestosis, and pleural thickening, as well as various cancers. Although lung diffusion capacity (DL) including nitric oxide (NO) is assumed to be more sensitive than carbon monoxide (CO), its added value in assessment of pneumoconios...
