What color tube is used to draw blood for cystic fibrosis test?
A lavender-top tube, also known as an EDTA tube, is commonly used to draw blood for cystic fibrosis testing. This tube is used for collecting whole blood samples for analysis, such as genetic testing for cystic fibrosis.
How is cystic fibrosis diagnosed?
A medical physician can run a test known as the chloride sweat test that can be used to help diagnose cystic fibrosis. Cystic Fibrosis is a systemic disease that primarily affects the lungs and causes thick mucous secretions to build up in the airway and therefore causes breathing problems.
Is cystic fibrosis an infectious disease?
Good Question. The answer is cystic fibrosis is not contagious, however, people with cystic fibrosis tend to carry bacterial infections that can cause serious issues to other people with CF, so infection control procedures should be used when two or more cystics are around each other. General population folks need not fear of getting cystic fibrosis from others - it's a hereditary disease.

How gene therapy might be used to treat cytic fibrosis?
Gene therapy for cystic fibrosis involves delivering a functional copy of the CFTR gene to affected cells in order to restore normal function of the protein. This can be achieved by using viral vectors to deliver the gene into the cells and allow it to produce normal CFTR protein. By correcting the underlying genetic defect, gene therapy holds promise for treating cystic fibrosis at the molecular level.
Is there any cure for cystic fibrosis?
There are an infinite number of medicines that CF patients may use, but only five are available exclusively for CF patients. Tobramycin, an antibiotic, comes in two forms, known and Tobi and Tobra. Tobi is inhaled through a nebulizer, while Tobra is given intravenously through a PICCline, peripheral IV, or port. Colistimethate is also an antibiotic given either inhaled or intravenously, and is called Colistin in both cases. Hypertonic saline is just what you think it is: saltwater. Often used in the 7% concentration, it is inhaled and the salt dries out the lung cells, forcing the body to concentrate more water to the lungs. In turn, the cells take in water to neutralize the effect of the salt, and the cilia in the lungs are able to move again. Pulmozyme is a geneticly enhanced drug that breaks down the DNA which makes mucus in the lungs so thick, so it is easier to cough up. Finally, aztreonam, better known as Cayston, just passed FDA approval last year, and is another inhaled antibiotic.
