Abstract |
2,3-DPG and P50 were measured in 23 patients with chronic obstructive lung disease. All patients had a chronic hypercapnia (PaCO2 greater than or equal to 45 Torr). They are shared in 3 groups, according to hemoglobin content [Hb] and hypoxia : group I(PaO2 = 48.0 +/- 2.4 Torr ; [Hb] = 15.9 +/- 0.3 g. 100 ml-1; n = 9), (M +/- 1 SE); group II (PaO2 = 46.4 +/- 5.0 Torr; [Hb] = 11.6 +/- 0.7 g. 100 m[-1; n = 7); group III(PaO2 = 61.4 +/- 2.4 Torr; [Hb] = 13.3 +/- 0.4 g. 100 ml-1; n = 7). 2,3-DPG (group I : 1.05 +/- 0.06 mole.moleHb-1; group II : 1.02 +/- 0.08; group III : 1.11 +/- 0.08) was not significantly different of 2,3-DPG value of 12 control subjects (0.96 +/- 0.04). P50 of group I (26.9 +/- 0.9 Torr) and group III patients (28.1 +/- 1.6 Torr) was not significantly different of control value of P50 (27.4 +/- 0.5 Torr). P50 of group II patients (29.6 +/- 0.8 Torr) was significantly higher than P50 control and group I values (p less than 0.05). All the patients of group II died. These results suggest that in patients with chronic obstructive lung disease : 1) P50 value is different with various clinical conditions; 2) P50 increase is a compensatory mechanism in severe hypoxemia with anemia, but is not sufficient; 3) [Hb] is the best data for clinical prognosis.
