Sweat chloride test information
The sweat chloride test is a painless, noninvasive procedure used to help
diagnose cystic fibrosis (CF), a genetic condition that affects the lungs
and digestive system. This test measures the amount of chloride (a component
of salt) present in the sweat. Elevated chloride levels can indicate CF,
which allows physicians to begin timely treatment and management if needed.
