Inflammation of the airways leads to symptoms such as shortness of breath, wheezing and coughing. The primary focus of asthma treatment is to reduce inflammation. Unfortunately, current methods of testing lung function do not measure inflammation. Therefore, your physician has to correlate symptoms to disease severity when prescribing or adjusting your medication.

Exhaled nitric oxide is a marker of airway inflammation, one of the key components of the pathophysiology of asthma. While exhaled nitric oxide testing has been available for some time at specialized asthma centers, the development of home monitoring devices for exhaled nitric oxide has recently had researchers asking the question if home monitoring could improve asthma control.

However, this view has been greatly modified since the discovery in 1987 that the free radical NO was the previously uncharacterized endothelial-derived relaxing factor. It has now become clear that NO plays an important role in most human organ systems.

The chronic inflammatory process can lead to degenerative changes in the respiratory tissues and impaired pulmonary function. Exhaled gaseous nitric oxide (NO), which is normally produced in the airway mucosa, is known to be elevated in asthmatic patients, and is even higher during acute exacerbations than during remissions. The measurement of exhaled NO has therefore been proposed as a surrogate marker of airway inflammation for purposes of evaluating a patient's response to medications and perhaps reduce dosages of inhaled corticosteroids. Policy Measurement of exhaled nitric oxide is considered medically necessary in the management of asthma patients. Measurement of exhaled nitric oxide is considered experimental / investigational for all other conditions as it does not meet TEC criteria # 2-5.
