Renal diseases,fter taking account of these effects, there remain in many patients abnormalities of the CO Diffusing Capacity — usually a reduction but occasionally, in the specific case of Goodpasture’s syndrome, an increase.

In an individual patient, however, the attribution of breathlessness to the heart or the lungs or both remains a common and difficult problem, especially since some of the functional changes in patients with cardiac disease resemble those of primary lung or airway disease.

Tests of ventilatory control,ercostal and phrenic nerves; and the effector ‘organ’, the respiratory muscles, whose efficiency in adjusting ventilation to metabolic requirements is influenced by the mechanical and gas-exchanging properties of the lungs.

Diseases of pleura and chest wall,erefore, often contribute to the results of conventional tests. In general the integrity of the alveolar-capillary membrane is retained but the impairment of full expansion of the lung may lead to some reduction of the CO Diffusing Capacity and to a .CO which is typically high normal or frankly increased (see section 3.2).

The variability of results obtained on different occasions is often a good guide to their accuracy but the influence of true physiological or pathological variation also needs to be borne in mind.
