CC01--Sweating it Out- What do Sweat Tests Really Tell Us?

Saturday, September 28, 2024
8:00 AM – 9:15 AM ET
Location:104 AB

Sweat chloride testing is the gold standard for cystic fibrosis (CF) diagnosis. However, sometimes diagnosis is not as simple as a positive or negative test, particularly in the era of genetic sequencing. A multi-disciplinary panel will present cases that include difficult to diagnose and false positive sweat chloride results. This session is designed to allow ample opportunity for discussion and engagement with the panel.

Learning Objectives:

  • Describe standard CF diagnosis criteria and testing and how to apply them to difficult to diagnose cases.
  • Recognize causes of false positive/negative sweat chloride results.
  • Illustrate the potential variations in sweat chloride results over an individual’s lifespan.
