Pancreatic enzyme supplements in cystic fibrosis.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Approximately 95% of patients in Northern Europe are pancreatic insufficient due to an inadequacy of their own pancreatic enzyme secretions (Littlewood et al, 2006). These patients need to take pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy (PERT) in order to prevent the symptoms of fat malabsorption. These symptoms include frequent pale, oily and offensive stools, abdominal pain, poor growth and deficiencies of fat soluble vitamins and essential fatty acids.

13Carbon mixed triglyceride breath test and pancreatic enzyme supplementation in cystic fibrosis.
Children with cystic fibrosis have variable degrees of exocrine pancreatic insufficiency which, if untreated, is the main cause of fat malabsorption. The impact of pancreatic enzyme supplementation on fat digestion was measured in 41 children with cystic fibrosis, 11 healthy controls, and five children with mucosal diseases by a non-invasive test of intraluminal lipolysis using 13carbon (13C) l...
متن کاملReduction of bile acid loss in cystic fibrosis
On a 'normal' diet increased faecal bile acid excretion was found in 14 of 16 children with cystic fibrosis who had steatorrhoea, but excretion was normal in 2 such children without steatorrhoea. The 16 children with steatorrhoea took 3 regimens of diet and therapy: a 'normal' diet with pancreatic enzyme supplements, a diet of reduced long-chain triglycerides with added mediumchain triglyceride...

متن کاملMeasurement of fat digestion in early life using a stable isotope breath test.
13C breath tests are a safe, non-invasive way of assessing nutrient digestion and absorption that can be used repeatedly in infancy and childhood. The aim of this study was to assess their value for measuring fat digestion in infants and young children with cystic fibrosis, and healthy controls whose pancreatic exocrine function is immature, and to monitor pancreatic enzyme supplementation. Six...
