Exhaled nitric oxide: a test for diagnosis and control of asthma?
Curr Allergy Asthma Rep.
2007 Nov.
Abstract
The fractional concentration of nitric oxide (FE(NO)) in exhaled breath is a noninvasive marker of airway inflammation in asthma. The precise role of FE(NO) in the asthma management algorithm has not been defined. However, there are compelling data for use of FE(NO) for diagnosing asthma, assessing control and severity, titrating inhaled corticosteroids, and detecting ongoing airway inflammation. This article reviews the biology of nitric oxide in airway pathology and its role in asthma.
