Nutrition for Pancreatic Sufficient Individuals with Cystic Fibrosis

摘要: Cystic fibrosis (CF) is typically associated with exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (PI) and nutritional care of the CF patient sufficiency (PS) less well described. Although patients PS have milder transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene mutations, they are still at risk malnutrition without careful monitoring. Tests for status should be used to determine as monitor progression a PI status. Such tests include fecal elastase-1 (FE-1) immunosorbent assay which excellent sensitivity specificity. Clinicians also aware that pancreatitis testing this scenario considered if clinically warranted.
