Exhaled breath condensate pH and exhaled nitric oxide in allergic asthma and in cystic fibrosis

BACKGROUND: It has been proposed that the pH of airway lining fluid may regulate the fractional exhaled concentration of nitric oxide (Fe(NO)) in respiratory disease.

METHODS: Fe(NO), exhaled breath condensate (EBC) pH, and EBC concentrations of nitrite plus nitrate (NO2/NO3) were compared in 12 subjects with stable asthma, 18 with stable cystic fibrosis (CF), and 15 healthy control subjects.

Eight of the CF patients were studied on a separate occasion at the start of a pulmonary exacerbation.

RESULTS: Fe(NO) was significantly greater in asthmatic subjects than in control subjects (mean 35 v 9 ppb, p<0.001).

EBC pH, however, was similar in the asthmatic and control groups (median 5.82 v 6.08, p=0.23).

Levels of NO2/NO3 were on average higher in EBC samples from asthmatic subjects, but the difference was not significant.

In patients with stable CF both the Fe(NO) (mean 4 ppb, p<0.001) and EBC pH (median 5.77, p=0.003) were lower than in the control group.

Levels of EBC NO2/NO3 (median 29.9 microM; p=0.002) in patients with stable CF, in contrast, were significantly higher than in control subjects.

During CF exacerbations, EBC pH was further reduced (median 5.30, p=0.017) but Fe(NO) and NO2/NO3 were unchanged.

CONCLUSIONS: These findings demonstrate a dissociation between EBC pH and Fe(NO) in inflammatory airways disease.
