Purpose Of The Study:
The aim of this study was to measure the concentration of FeNO in asthmatics with and without allergic rhinitis (AR) and to determine usefulness of the test in the assessment of asthma control in the Polish population. The next objective of this study was to estimate the cut-off point of FeNO which might be a good indicator of uncontrolled asthma.
Materials And Methods:
The measurements were taken using the Hyp'Air FeNO in 303 adult patients with asthma, AR, comorbid AR and asthma, and non-diseased volunteers.
Results:
FeNO level in healthy adults was similar to the FeNO concentration in AR as well as controlled asthmatic patients without and with AR. Patients with partly controlled and uncontrolled asthma with and without AR had higher FeNO (>60 ppb) levels when compared to adults with controlled disease. The optimal cut-off point of FeNO > 46 ppb and FeNO > 33 ppb was estimated for identification of uncontrolled asthmatics without and with AR, respectively.
Conclusion:
In conclusion, we found a significant correlation between the FeNO concentration and the level of asthma symptom control in asthmatic patients with and without AR.

Additionally, environmental and genetic factors play crucial roles in determining an individual's susceptibility to asthma and the severity of their condition.
Critical processes in asthma pathophysiology include:
Asthma: Pathogenesis and Management
Asthma is classified as allergic and non-allergic. Allergens such as dust mites, pollen, and pet dander trigger allergic asthma, while factors like cold air, intense emotions, or exercise can induce non-allergic asthma.
