My sons sweat test result

We had the sweat test, it came back at 33. I know this is a negative result, but is it.

I would think it would come back lower. What is a common negative result? I spoke with the nurses, who talked to the doc,at our MD's office and he feels this is not what is causing my son problems. Do I drop it? Do I do what. I dont know who to talk to.

He to me shows some signs but than he doesnt, I guess the biggest one for me is that he has not his cough for almost a year. He coughs sometimes but not much.

I am so confused.

HI,
I am in pretty much the same situation. My daughter (age 3) had a sweat chloride test with the result of 35. I was relieved when I found this out at first...but she continued to have problems and her digestive problems and respiratory problems have gotten worse. I took her to the doctor again and they are now referring her to a pulmonologist at a children's hospital for further testing. I did some more research on cystic fibrosis...I read on one forum that a lady had one child with a result of 38 (i believe 3 times) and was later genetically tested and she was diagnosed with CF. So my suggestion is to ask to be seen by a pulmonologist or cystic fibrosis specialist and get some genetic testing done!!

good luck keltay
