Ventilation-perfusion inequality in patients with non-alcoholic liver cirrhosis

Ventilation-perfusion relationships were studied in patients with non-alcoholic liver cirrhosis. Spirometry was essentially normal but the transfer factor of the lung (DLCO) was reduced by an average 34% of predicted. Arterial oxygen tension (PaO2) ranged from normal down to 6.9 kPa. Varying degrees...
