Cystic fibrosis: current concepts.
Cystic fibrosis of the pancreas, the most frequently inherited disease affecting the Caucasian population, is an autosomal recessive disorder affecting principally the exocrine glands. It is of interest that despite the steadily increasing number of cellular and biochemical abnormalities reported in the disease even the most intrepid investigator has stopped short (sometimes only just) of staki...
متن کاملImproved sweat test method for the diagnosis of cystic fibrosis.
We describe a new technique of collecting sweat for measurement of osmolality and sodium concentrations. Eighty two subjects were studied--39 controls and 43 patients with cystic fibrosis. Adequate amounts of sweat were obtained in 81 subjects and sweat was analysed for both osmolality and sodium concentrations in 73 subjects. The 34 controls gave sweat osmolality and sodium values ranging from...
متن کاملSweat testing for the diagnosis of cystic fibrosis: practical considerations.
Most pediatricians eventually encounter a patient with a clinical presentation that warrants the consideration of a sweat test to rule out of confirm the diagnosis of cystic fibrosis. This article discusses, in a series of questions and answers, the currently available sweat testing methods and describes the various methods' reliability, limitations, and frequency of use. In addition, sweat tes...
متن کاملSweat testing for cystic fibrosis
Screening of sweat chloride in newborn infants with the Orion Skin Chloride Measuring System and incorporating some procedural innovations is described. The results indicate that while diagnostic screening for cystic fibrosis can be readily undertaken, the test with the chloride ionselective electrode is best left at least to the second day of life or later because of insufficient sweating in v...
متن کاملCystic fibrosis: a current review.
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is the most common severe genetic disorder seen in Caucasians. Defective exocrine gland secretions result in chronic diseases of the respiratory and gastrointestinal systems. However, the CF gene recently has been located and cloned. Currently, genetic technology allows identification of sibling carriers and antenatal diagnosis within families. Oral implications associated ...
