Resource summary
Cystic fibrosis- epidem, pathophysiology, clinical features
epidemiology
commonest life-limiting autosomal recessive condition in Caucasians
incidence
1 in 2500 live births
carrier rate
1 in 25
average life expectancy
in the 40s
defective protein
cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator
cAMP-dependent Cl- channel
on cell membranes
gene on chromosome 7
most freq mutation in UK
delta F508
need to ID gene mutation in a family
to allow prenatal diag
to allow carrier detection in wider family
correlation btw genotype & phenotype
stronger
CF gastrointestinal disease
weaker
CF lung disease
other factors important to determine severity
different microbial pathogens
passive smoking
social deprivation
other modifier genes
Pathophysiology
multisystem disorder
abnormal ion transport across epithelial cells
-> reduction in airway surface layer
-> impaired ciliary function
retention of mucopurulent secretions
->chronic endobronchial infection
caused by e.g. Pseudomonas aeruginosa
dysregulation of
inflammation
defence vs infection
instestine
production of thick, viscid meconium
->meconium ileus
10-20% of CF infants
blockage of pancreatic ducts
-> pancreatic enzyme deficiency
-> malabsorption
abnormal sweat gland function
too high [Na] & [Cl-] in sweat
clinical features
presentation
on Guthrie test
heel-prick blood spot biochem screen
poor growth
malabsorption
recurrent chest infections
chronic infection
bacteria
initially Staph aureus
subsequently
P.aeruginosa
Burkholderia spp.
due to viscid mucus in smaller airways
->
bronchial wall damage
bronchiectasis
abscess formation
Sx
persistent loose cough
productive of purulent sputum
on examination
hyperinflation of chest
due to air trapping
coarse inspiratory creps (crackles)
+/- expiratory wheeze
finger clubbing
with established disease
death due to respiratory failure
95% of pts
pancreatic exocrine insufficiency
-> maldigestion & malabsorption
steatorrhoea
freq large, pale, offensive & greasy stools
-> failure to thrive if untreated
diag by demonstrating low elastase in faeces
lipase, amylase and proteases lacking
neonatal period
meconium ileus
10-20% of CF pts
inspissated meconium->
instestinal obstruction
vomiting
abdo distension
failure to pass meconium in 1st few days of life
Rx
gastrografan enemas initially
surgery
