Guest guest Posted February 15, 2004 Report Share Posted February 15, 2004 And once you pass 60, they send you right to dna testing and sweat test the whole family in California--although there are several mutations that have not been found, and several that do no produce elevated sweat chloride. Then there are the paradoxes; one of my cf carrier adults has heat prostration, salt all over her skin, coughs like a seal and is not ill, and produces a sweat test of 26. Some things, even in science, are not written in stone, nor even in agar! Love to you and kids, Jan, n Re: Borderline Sweat Test > > In California, that is considered " likely diagnostic " for cf as the average of 20-25 is so much lower than that. No one wants a child to have cf I never knew that (average is 20-25) jan ------------------------------------------- The opinions and information exchanged on this list should IN NO WAY be construed as medical advice.
