Intestinal malabsorption in cystic fibrosis.
نویسندگان
چکیده
An oral solution containing lactulose and L-rhamnose was administered to six patients with cystic fibrosis. Intestinal absorption of both sugars was assessed by measurement of their urinary excretion. The lactulose: L-rhamnose excretion ratio was raised, supporting the hypothesis of an intestinal component to the malabsorption of cystic fibrosis.

Persistent fat malabsorption in cystic fibrosis; lessons from patients and mice.
Fat malabsorption in pancreatic insufficient cystic fibrosis (CF) patients is classically treated with pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy (PERT). Despite PERT, intestinal fat absorption remains insufficient in most CF patients. Several factors have been suggested to contribute to the persistent fat malabsorption in CF (CFPFM). We reviewed the current insights concerning the proposed causes o...
متن کاملDisorders associated with malabsorption of iron: A critical review
Malabsorption is a disorder of the gastrointestinal tract that leads to defective digestion, absorption and transport of important nutrients across the intestinal wall. Small intestine is the major site where most of the nutrients are absorbed. There are three main mechanisms of malabsorption; premucosal, mucosal and postmucosal. Premucosal malabsorption is the inadequate digestion due to impro...
متن کاملEscherichia coli dysbiosis correlates with gastrointestinal dysfunction in children with cystic fibrosis.
Cystic fibrosis gastrointestinal disease includes nutrient malabsorption and intestinal inflammation. We show that the abundances of Escherichia coli in fecal microbiota were significantly higher in young children with cystic fibrosis than in controls and correlated with fecal measures of nutrient malabsorption and inflammation, suggesting that E. coli could contribute to cystic fibrosis gastro...

BACKGROUND Meconium ileus equivalent or the Distal Intestinal Obstruction Syndrome (DIOS) is an entity that is frequently seen in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). In the gastrointestinal tract cystic fibrosis may produces symptoms of malabsorption and constipation. The latter may be associated with complications such as impaction and intestinal perforation. Meconium ileus and DIOS are an eme...
متن کاملMechanisms of lipid malabsorption in Cystic Fibrosis: the impact of essential fatty acids deficiency
Transport mechanisms, whereby alimentary lipids are digested and packaged into small emulsion particles that enter intestinal cells to be translocated to the plasma in the form of chylomicrons, are impaired in cystic fibrosis. The purpose of this paper is to focus on defects that are related to intraluminal and intracellular events in this life-limiting genetic disorder. Specific evidence is pr...
