Abstract:
NO is an important signal factor existing in expiratory air of normal person.Different kinds of airway inflammation can cause the increase of NO,especially eosinophilic inflammation.Fractional exhaled nitric oxide(FENO) can result in airway inflammation,which is noninvasive,repeatable and easily performed.It can be very helpful in the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of airway symptoms such as recurrent wheezing and chronic cough.It can also help determine the state of the disease and prognosis.It is a very useful tool in the assessment and management of airway diseases,especially asthma.
