Eight of these 12 patients had alveolocapillary membrane defect, as demonstrated by a gas transfer factor of the pulmonary membrane (Tm) less than 80% pred. Mean resting arterial oxygen saturation was 95 +/- 2 (range 92-98) %. Eleven patients had oxygen desaturation of 5% or more during exercise on a bicycle ergometer, consistent with interstitial lung disease. There was no clinical or echocardiographic evidence of heart failure. Percentage predicted TLC was inversely correlated with age (r = -0.547; p = 0.043). Both percentage predicted TLC and TL,CO were not correlated with iron burden or desferoxamine ratio. High resolution CT in the three selected patients showed no evidence of pulmonary fibrosis. We conclude that thalassaemia major patients have a predominant restrictive lung dysfunction with pulmonary parenchymal disease and alveolocapillary membrane block. The restrictive and interstitial lung disease could not be accounted for by iron loading or pulmonary fibrosis in our patients. ER -
