Diagnostic testing
Your essential guide to respiratory diagnostic testing from FeNO and spirometry to CRP Point of Care Testing.
FeNO
The fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) test measures the level of NO in the exhaled breath and provides an indication of eosinophilic inflammation in the lungs.
C-reactive protein (CRP) Point of Care Testing
Developed by a multi-disciplinary team, this pragmatic guide examines the evidence and application of C-reactive protein testing in primary and community care.
