Comparative Studyβ-adrenergic sweat secretion as a diagnostic test for cystic fibrosis.
β-Adrenergically induced sweat secretion offers an expedient method to assess native cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) secretory function in vivo. ⋯ β-Adrenergic sweat secretion rate determined by evaporimetry is an accurate and reliable technique to assess different levels of CFTR function and to identify patients with CF.
