Breath test for diagnosing high cholesterol
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests a new breath test to see if it can detect dyslipidemia (abnormal cholesterol or fat levels in the blood). If you have high cholesterol or related conditions, this simple, non-invasive test might help diagnose you faster.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You do not have serious lung diseases like lung cancer, asthma, COPD, or cystic fibrosis.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
