BREATH TEST
A breath test is a type of test performed on air generated from
the act of exhalation.

BREATH TEST
Breath tests are among the least invasive methods for
monitoring a person’s disease state or exposure to a drug or an environmental
pollutant.
Interest inbreath analysis for clinical diagnosis has increased inrecent years.

BREATH TESTS-Applications
• Depending on the origin of the substances found in human breath, fall into two main categories:
Diagnosis of diseaseAssessment of exposure
to environmental pollutants

BREATH TEST- Diagnosis of disease
• Ancient Greek physicians already knew that the aroma of human breath could provide clues to diagnosis.

Un-controlled diabetes
Musty, fishy reek
Advanced liver
disease
Urine-like smellFailing kidneys

BREATH TEST- Diagnosis of disease
Modern breath analysis started in the 1970s when
researchers,using gas chromatography
(GC), identifiedmore than 200
components in human breath
As a result of extensive studies,
a few breath markers
have been discovered and
successfully used in diagnosisof disease

s
Breath testing is noninvasive, easily repeated
Breath samples closely reflect the arterial concentrations
Breath is a much less complicated mixture than serum or urine
Breath analysis provides direct information on respiratory function
Breath analysis can dynamically real-time monitor the decay of volatile toxic substances in the body.
