What Are the Implications of Reduced Diffusion Capacity?
Reduced diffusion capacity can indicate potential complications, such as:
Hypoxemia: Lower levels of oxygen in the blood can affect fetal development. Pre-eclampsia: There is some evidence to suggest that impaired lung function may be associated with a higher risk of pre-eclampsia. Increased maternal morbidity: Women with compromised lung function may experience more severe respiratory symptoms during pregnancy, requiring closer monitoring and potentially more intensive management.
