Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: To develop reference intervals (RIs) for sweat chloride and sodium in healthy children, adolescents, and adults. STUDY DESIGN: Healthy, unrelated subjects aged from 5 to >50 years and subjects who were pancreatic insufficient with cystic fibrosis (CF) were recruited. Sweat collection was performed on all subjects with the Wescor Macroduct system. Sweat electrolytes were analyzed with direct ion...
