| All patients with CF(n = 21) | Normal subjects (n = 12) |
Patients with CF (no inhaled steroids)(n = 12) | Patients with CF (on inhaled steroids)(n = 9) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nitrite Median value |
2.15 μM | 0.36 μM | 1.94 μM | 2.86 μM |
| Range | 0.44–23.69 μM | 0–2.10 μM | 0.80–7.89 μM | 0.56–23.69 μM |
