Relationship between bronchiectasis and cystic fibrosis

Posted by lenorj @lenorj, Mar 25 8:26am

I recently was tested for cystic fibrosis as part of the on going treatment of . bronchiectasis. The test came back with out a definitive answer but the numbers did show that I was not in negative territory either! I am wondering if anyone on the forum has any experience with this and does the results change treatment options?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the MAC & Bronchiectasis Support Group.

Wonder what kind of CF test involved numbers? Was that a skin test? Usually the genetic test is the only way to know for sure. If you are positive then the new drug that people with CF take has made a HUGE difference for them. If only Non Cystic Fibrosis Bronchiectasis had something like it! I have also read that new genetic variants are being discovered all the time for CF.

@irenea8 you may have answered this for yourself already but the sweat test results report numerically.
