Summary
This study looked at how salt and other ions move through the cells lining the airways in people with idiopathic bronchiectasis (enlarged airways of unknown cause). Researchers measured these movements using a simple test during a routine bronchoscopy in 42 patients aged 2 to 20. The goal was to find specific defects in ion transport that might explain the disease, but no treatment was given.
