Abstract
We devised a noninvasive measure of pulmonary hemorrhage of value in the management of Goodpasture's syndrome. We reasoned that alveolar uptake of inhaled carbon monoxide during breath holding would increase in the presence of extravascular blood, but clearance of its radioisotope (C15O) from a lung field would be delayed. Thus, the ratio of uptake to clearance would indicate lung hemorrhage.This publication has 10 references indexed in Scilit:
