A value below 60 mmol/l is unlikely to be associated with cystic fibrosis. Values above 90mmol/l support a diagnosis of cystic fibrosis. Cystic fibrosis should not be diagnosed on conductivity measurement alone. Confirmation should be sought using sweat chloride or genotyping. Intermediate values between 60 and 90 mmol/l require further investigation by sweat chloride and/or genotyping.
