All the babies were given a
sweat test. Twenty (57%) of them had a
sweat test result >60 mmol/L that was consistent with CF, eight (22.9%) of them were found to have a suspicious

Clinical and laboratory findings and diagnoses for the patients were re-evaluated by two different pediatric endocrinologists Among the patients who had primary PHA1, those who had high chloride levels in the
sweat test (sweat chloride reference range: 33.9[+ or -]10.2 mEq/L) or high salivary Na level (saliva Na reference range: 33.1[+ or -]13.4 mEq/L) were evaluated as having systemic PHA1 and those who had normal sweat chloride level or normal salivary Na level levels were evaluated as having renal PHA1.
Around this era, the "
sweat test" developed by Gibson and Cooke would become the first diagnostic test for CF (2).
The standard diagnostic test for cystic fibrosis is a noninvasive
