Summary

Oxidative stress is seen in children with asthma, but is hard to measure. The investigators exploring the utility of using a commercially available assay to measure oxidative stress in the urine in asthmatics. Additionally, the investigators will attempt to prove that oxidative stress is higher in children with acute asthma compared to those with stable asthma and that this stress is also higher in children with more severe clinical asthma exacerbations compared to less severe ones.
