Cystic fibrosis : note

• Patients with cystic fibrosissecrete very viscous mucus in the lung and

suffer repeated lung infections.The pancreas is also affected and patients

are deficient in pancreaticenzymes; this reduces digestion and absorption

of nutrients, so affecting growth.

• The viscous mucus in cysticfibrosis is difficult to clear from the lung:

patients need physical therapy andpostural drainage to clear the airways.

• Sweat glands have sympatheticcholinergic innervation. Patients with cystic

fibrosis secrete a large amount ofsalt in their sweat and this forms the basis

of a diagnostic test for thecondition.

• Since cystic fibrosis patients lackdigestive enzymes, enzyme preparations

containing amylase, lipase andproteases are prescribed in order to improve

intestinal absorption of nutrients.
