My Lungs have a pH?

Primary Investigator
Overview
pH is a measurement
of acidity. Lung pH, or airway pH, is the measurement
of acidity in the lungs and airway specifically. Airway pH varies from
person to person, depending on their health. Because of this, IU School of
Medicine is collecting an airway pH spectrum from a variety of people with and
without lung disease.
We are currently looking
for individuals with a chronic lung disease to inhale a study drug that will
increase their airway pH.
