Lung function parameters of patients with sarcoidosis and healthy volunteers
| Lung function parameters | TLC (l) | TLC% (predicted) | IVC (l) | IVC% (predicted) | FEV1 (l) | FEV1 % (predicted) | CO-Diff. capacity (mmol/min/kPa/l) | CO-Diff. % (predicted) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Controls | 6·8 ± 1·3 | 103·1 ± 7·8 | 5·0 ± 1·1 | 95·0 ± 14·5 | 3·7 ± 0·8 | 100·9 ± 12·2 | 1·84 ± 0·3 | 90·1 ± 12·7 |
| Patients with sarcoidosis | 5·9 ± 1·2 | 84·6 ± 7·9 | 4·2 ± 1·5 | 78·6 ± 18·4 | 3·2 ± 1·0 | 83·4 ± 17·6 | 1·64 ± 0·2 | 80·4 ± 10·9 |
TLC, Total lung capacity; TLC%, in % of predicted total lung capacity; IVC, inspiratory vital capacity; IVC%, in % of predicted inspiratory vital capacity; FEV1, forced exspiratory volume of 1 s; FEV1 %, in % of predicted forced exspiratory volume of 1 s; CO-Diff. %, CO diffusion capacity in % of predicted.
