Asthma Feno Test

Feno stands for Fractional Exhaled Nitric Oxide. As a prospective patient you don't need to understand what that is.

The Asthma Feno test is a non-invasive diagnostic tool used to measure inflammation in the airways. And is particularly helpful in diagnosing and managing asthma. High levels of nitric oxide indicate eosinophilic inflammation. This often requires targeted treatment.

Patients should consider the Asthma Feno test when:

• they have persistent asthma symptoms, or
• need confirmation of an asthma diagnosis.

The procedure involves a patient exhaling steadily into a device. This device measures nitric oxide levels in the breath.

The test is quick, taking only a few minutes, and results are available immediately. Based on the findings, healthcare providers can:

• tailor treatments,
• optimize medication plans, and
• monitor ongoing asthma management.

This precise approach helps reduce flare-ups and improve overall quality of life.
