Diagnosis is confirmed through two positive sweat tests, presence of two mutations in the CFTR gene, or an abnormal transepithelial membrane potential. Clinical presentation includes respiratory (nasal polyps, chronic sinusitis, recurrent wheezing or pneumonia, chronic cough, hemoptysis, bronchiectasis), ...
Cystic Fibrosis Diagnosis Early diagnosis means early treatment and better health later in life. Every state in the U.S. tests newborns for cystic fibrosis using one or more of these three tests: Blood test.This test checks the levels of immunoreactive trypsinogen (IRT). People with CF have ...

The diagnosis of cystic fibrosisEstablishing the diagnosis of cystic fibrosis (CF) is straight forward in the majority of patients: they present with a clear clinical picture (most frequently chronic respiratory symptoms plus malabsorption), the sweat chloride value is>60mmol/L and two known disease...
Development of a sensitive, easily performed, reliable test would be an important advance in detecting cystic fibrosis, improving genetic counselling and providing early effective treatment. The sweat chloride test, which is reliable in diagnosis, is technically too difficult for a screening program, an...
