Guest guest Posted October 14, 2002 Report Share Posted October 14, 2002 Hello, I wrote to you several weeks back about my son Collin, 6. His sweat test came back at 39 and his Dr thought that was close enough for her to consider positive for CF. Well, we re-did the sweat test and the chloride level was 41. Apparently when the chloride gets above 40 , then they run the sodium level. They have never run his sodium level before because the chloride was never high enough. His sodium level was 117. Has anybody ever heard of the chloride and sodium levels being that different or what a normal sodium level is and what would be considered a positive sodium level for CF? I've search the web and can't find any info on the sodium levels in a sweat test just the chloride. I'm confused!!!

Guest guest Posted October 14, 2002 Report Share Posted October 14, 2002 Tina, I think I would ask for a DNA to find the mutation that are there for CF. That way you can know for sure. Sorry I can't help you with the sodium level thing. Deb A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
