Hossam Hosny Mahmoud Masoud;
Abstract
This study was carried out in chest department-Cairo University on 80 patients baring bronchial asthma. The aim of the work was to evaluate the role of nitric oxide as a marker of airway inflammation in asthma.
All subjects were subjected to full history taking and clinical examination, pulmonary function tests, chest x ray, assessment of BAL esinophils, protein and SCD and finally estimation of nitrate in serum.
The results showed that nitrate as an indirect marker of nitric
oxide is a good marker of airway inflammation in asthma.
Conclusion: It was concluded that nitric oxide is valuable marker of asthma and the level of serum nitrate should be correlated with the exhaled.
