Indirect measurements of sweat electrolyte concentration in the laboratory diagnosis of cystic fibrosis.

Archives of disease in childhood - 1 May 2000

Heeley M E, Woolf D A, Heeley A F

Abstract excerpt

AIM: To investigate whether analytical methods based on the colligative physical chemical properties of ions or solutes in sweat are less effective than the specific measurement of electrolytes in the diagnosis of cystic fibrosis (CF). METHODS: A single sweat sample was collected (Macroduct) from each of 211 infants and children, of whom 57 had CF, for the measurement of sodium, chloride, osmolality, and...
