Abstract
Nitric oxide in exhaled breath is a biomarker of continuing inflammatory process in the airways, and its measurement can be used to predict responsiveness to steroid treatment in patients with asthma. This article describes the range of uses of exhaled nitric oxide measurements in respiratory care, particularly in primary care settings, and reviews evidence on this non-invasive test.
