Overview

The sweat chloride test is the gold standard test for the diagnosis of cystic fibrosis. A sweat chloride value of more than 59 mmol/L is diagnostic for cystic fibrosis, 30-59 mmol/L needs more evaluation with CFTR genetic analysis and less than 30 is indicates that cystic fibrosis is unlikely.
