Effect of misoprostol on fat malabsorption in cystic fibrosis.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Misoprostol, a synthetic prostaglandin that is known to reduce gastric acid production and stimulate duodenal bicarbonate production, was evaluated in 22 patients with cystic fibrosis. In those patients who had greater than 10% fat malabsorption while taking pancrease the addition of misoprostol significantly reduced the degree of fat malabsorption.

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 کاملEnergy balance during acute respiratory exacerbations in children with cystic fibrosis.
Acute respiratory exacerbations have been proposed to contribute to the negative energy balance which causes undernutrition in cystic fibrosis. However, no studies have measured their effect on all components of energy balance. The aim of this study was to measure the effect of an acute respiratory exacerbation on energy balance. Fourteen children (six females, eight males, mean+/-SD age 9.9+/-...
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...
متن کاملMetagenomic evidence for taxonomic dysbiosis and functional imbalance in the gastrointestinal tracts of children with cystic fibrosis
Cystic fibrosis (CF) results in inflammation, malabsorption of fats and other nutrients, and obstruction in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, yet the mechanisms linking these disease manifestations to microbiome composition remain largely unexplored. Here we used metagenomic analysis to systematically characterize fecal microbiomes of children with and without CF, demonstrating marked CF-associa...
متن کاملMarkers for faecal fat estimation in monitoring steatorrhoea in cystic fibrosis.
Polyethylene glycol (PEG) 4000 is one of numerous substances used as non-absorbable markers to correct for variable faecal output when assessing daily faecal losses of nutrients. The introduction of enteric coated micro-encapsulated pancreatic enzyme (EMPE) preparations has greatly improved the control of fat malabsorption in cystic fibrosis and chronic pancreatitis patients. Unfortunately, the...
