FENO Asthma Testing

A FENO test is a non-invasive procedure that measures the level of nitric oxide gas exhaled from the lungs. Nitric oxide is a marker of airway inflammation, and elevated levels are often associated with asthma and other respiratory conditions characterized by inflammation of the airways. By measuring FENO levels, our specialists can assess the degree of airway inflammation in patients with asthma and monitor response to treatment over time.

FENO testing offers several benefits in the evaluation and management of asthma. One of the primary advantages is its ability to provide objective measurements of airway inflammation, allowing for more precise diagnosis and monitoring of disease activity. Additionally, FENO testing can help distinguish between different subtypes of asthma, such as eosinophilic and non-eosinophilic asthma, which may require different treatment approaches.

At Gwinnett Pulmonary, we believe in providing personalized treatment plans tailored to each patient’s unique needs and medical history. FENO testing plays a crucial role in this process by helping our specialists determine the most appropriate treatment options for managing asthma. By identifying patients with high FENO levels, we can recommend targeted therapies, such as inhaled corticosteroids or biologic medications, to reduce airway inflammation and improve asthma control.

FENO testing is also valuable for monitoring asthma control and assessing response to treatment over time. By regularly measuring FENO levels, our specialists can track changes in airway inflammation and adjust treatment strategies as needed to optimize asthma management. This proactive approach to monitoring asthma helps prevent exacerbations, minimize symptoms, and improve overall quality of life for patients living with this chronic respiratory condition.
