There is no answer to your question since there is a lack of context with regard to the disease. A diseased lung is altered by it's pathology. Different pathologies (courses of disease) may result in different outcomes of the same lung size (that is make some lungs heavier whole other diseases may reduce the weight of the lung).

What characteristics of normal lung tissue are missing from diseased tissue?
the two main characteristics of normal lung tissue that may be affected in diseased individuals are either Compliance or Elasticity. compliance is the characteristic of lung tissue that allows it to expand elasticity is the characteristic of lung tissue that allows it go back to its former shape and size. elasticity is usually affected in chronic obstructive conditions like emphysema compliance is usually affected in restrictive lung dysfunctions like pulmonary fibrosis.
