Other diagnostic studies in patients with cystic fibrosis include [[Sweat test|sweat chloride test]] (measures the [[chloride]] content of the sweat) and nasal potential differences (performed by running different solutions through the nose) which used to detect changes in [[Cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator|CFTR]] function. A sweat [[chloride]] value of more than 59 mmol/L is diagnostic for cystic fibrosis and less than 30 mmol/L indicates that cystic fibrosis is unlikely.

Overview

Other diagnostic studies in patients with cystic fibrosis include sweat chloride test (measures the chloride content of the sweat) and nasal potential differences (performed by running different solutions through the nose) which used to detect changes in CFTR function. A sweat chloride value of more than 59 mmol/L is diagnostic for cystic fibrosis and less than 30 mmol/L indicates that cystic fibrosis is unlikely. Also Pulmonary function test (PFT) is important in monitoring lung function in patients with cystic fibrosis. However, it is only an indirect measure of lung structure and is insensitive to local or early damage.

Other Diagnostic Studies

Other diagnostic studies in patients with cystic fibrosis include:[1][2][3][4]

Sweat chloride test

  • Sweat chloride test results are considered as follow:
    • More than 59 mmol/L: diagnostic for cystic fibrosis
    • 30-59 mmol/L: needs more evaluation with CFTR genetic analysis
    • Less than 30 mmol/L: unlikely cystic fibrosis
