Cystic Fibrosis
Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is a chronic disease, associated with thick, sticky mucus forming in the lungs, pancreas, and other organs. This mucus leads to clogging of major organs that is often life-threatening.
![Page 3: Cystic Fibrosis MEDICAL NUTRITION THERAPY. Cystic Fibrosis Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is a chronic disease, associated with thick, sticky mucus forming in.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062400/56649d8d5503460f94a756d1/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Incidence
CF occurs in approximately 1:3500 live births.
White populations have between 2 and 5% of adults as CF carriers. This includes 10 million American adults. These individuals carry the defective gene associated with CF, however they do not experience symptoms. Consequently, most of these individuals do not know they are carriers.
![Page 4: Cystic Fibrosis MEDICAL NUTRITION THERAPY. Cystic Fibrosis Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is a chronic disease, associated with thick, sticky mucus forming in.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062400/56649d8d5503460f94a756d1/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Prevalence
In the United States, there are approximately 30,000 individuals with CF.
The number of new cases each year is approximately 1000.
![Page 5: Cystic Fibrosis MEDICAL NUTRITION THERAPY. Cystic Fibrosis Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is a chronic disease, associated with thick, sticky mucus forming in.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062400/56649d8d5503460f94a756d1/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Decrease in CF Cases
Studies have shown a decrease in the incidence of CF in association with increased newborn screenings for the gene.
One study examined the impact of CF carrier screening of individuals, and their relatives, undergoing in vitro fertilization. By identifying carrier couples, there was a marked decrease in new CF cases.
![Page 6: Cystic Fibrosis MEDICAL NUTRITION THERAPY. Cystic Fibrosis Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is a chronic disease, associated with thick, sticky mucus forming in.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062400/56649d8d5503460f94a756d1/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Survival Rate
Behind sickle cell anemia, CF is the second most common life shortening disease. Fortunately, increased research and improved treatment has greatly improved survival. When CF was first recognized as a disease, most individuals did not survive past their first birthday.
Consequently, CF was thought to be only a pediatric disease. Since that time, 42% of individuals are surviving to or being diagnosed at 18 years or older.
![Page 7: Cystic Fibrosis MEDICAL NUTRITION THERAPY. Cystic Fibrosis Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is a chronic disease, associated with thick, sticky mucus forming in.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062400/56649d8d5503460f94a756d1/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Etiology
CF is inherited in an autosomal recessive fashion. This means in order to develop CF, an individual must inherit a defective gene from each parent.
The associated gene causes a mutation in the Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator (CFTR) protein. More than 1400 known mutations exist for this gene.
![Page 8: Cystic Fibrosis MEDICAL NUTRITION THERAPY. Cystic Fibrosis Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is a chronic disease, associated with thick, sticky mucus forming in.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062400/56649d8d5503460f94a756d1/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator (CFTR)
Mutations of the gene for the CFTR result in the inability of the channel to move chloride ions outside of the cell.
The build of chloride inside the cells pulls water into cells, causing a thick sticky mucus to develop outside of the cell.
![Page 9: Cystic Fibrosis MEDICAL NUTRITION THERAPY. Cystic Fibrosis Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is a chronic disease, associated with thick, sticky mucus forming in.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062400/56649d8d5503460f94a756d1/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Mutation
The most common mutation resulting in the malfunction of the CFTR is the deletion of the codon for phenylalanine at position 508. This mutation is referred to as ΔF508.
![Page 10: Cystic Fibrosis MEDICAL NUTRITION THERAPY. Cystic Fibrosis Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is a chronic disease, associated with thick, sticky mucus forming in.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062400/56649d8d5503460f94a756d1/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Risk Factors
Genetics Parents who carry the mutated gene for CF have a greater likelihood
of having a child with CF.
Race CF is more common in Caucasian populations.
![Page 11: Cystic Fibrosis MEDICAL NUTRITION THERAPY. Cystic Fibrosis Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is a chronic disease, associated with thick, sticky mucus forming in.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062400/56649d8d5503460f94a756d1/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Genetics
If both parents are CF carriers, there is a 25% chance that they will have a child with CF.
![Page 12: Cystic Fibrosis MEDICAL NUTRITION THERAPY. Cystic Fibrosis Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is a chronic disease, associated with thick, sticky mucus forming in.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062400/56649d8d5503460f94a756d1/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Pathophysiology of CF
![Page 13: Cystic Fibrosis MEDICAL NUTRITION THERAPY. Cystic Fibrosis Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is a chronic disease, associated with thick, sticky mucus forming in.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062400/56649d8d5503460f94a756d1/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Epithelial Cells & Exocrine Glands
Cystic Fibrosis mostly leads to abnormal function of epithelial cells and more specifically the exocrine glands within these epithelial tissues.
Some organs that have exocrine glands include: pancreas, lungs, breasts, skin, cervix, testicles, intestines, stomach and the mouth.
![Page 14: Cystic Fibrosis MEDICAL NUTRITION THERAPY. Cystic Fibrosis Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is a chronic disease, associated with thick, sticky mucus forming in.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062400/56649d8d5503460f94a756d1/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
What causes abnormal exocrine function?
Water doesn’t just follow Sodium, it follows all ions.
In CF, a mutation occurs that allows Na to diffuse across the membrane for excretion but not Cl. Cl is thus retained and less water diffuses out of the cell, leading to thicker mucus.
![Page 15: Cystic Fibrosis MEDICAL NUTRITION THERAPY. Cystic Fibrosis Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is a chronic disease, associated with thick, sticky mucus forming in.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062400/56649d8d5503460f94a756d1/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Areas Affected by CF
![Page 16: Cystic Fibrosis MEDICAL NUTRITION THERAPY. Cystic Fibrosis Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is a chronic disease, associated with thick, sticky mucus forming in.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062400/56649d8d5503460f94a756d1/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
CF in the Lungs
Tiny cilia move mucus up through the lungs until it falls down the esophagus and is digested in the stomach.
In CF, the mucus is too thick for the cilia to function. What problems would mucostasis cause?
More frequent infections (Pneumonia)
More mucus in the lungs
Difficult breathing
![Page 17: Cystic Fibrosis MEDICAL NUTRITION THERAPY. Cystic Fibrosis Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is a chronic disease, associated with thick, sticky mucus forming in.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062400/56649d8d5503460f94a756d1/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
CF in the Lungs
![Page 18: Cystic Fibrosis MEDICAL NUTRITION THERAPY. Cystic Fibrosis Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is a chronic disease, associated with thick, sticky mucus forming in.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062400/56649d8d5503460f94a756d1/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
CF in the Pancreas What is secreted in
pancreatic juice? HCO3
CCK
Trypsinogen
Chymotrypsinogen
Pancreatic Lipase
Carboxypeptidase
Amylase
![Page 19: Cystic Fibrosis MEDICAL NUTRITION THERAPY. Cystic Fibrosis Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is a chronic disease, associated with thick, sticky mucus forming in.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062400/56649d8d5503460f94a756d1/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Think about it!
What would happen if these enzymes had less water?
What would happen if these enzymes had less bicarbonate?
What would happen if there was an obstruction in the pancreatic duct?
How would these changes affect digestion?
How would these changes affect absorption?
![Page 20: Cystic Fibrosis MEDICAL NUTRITION THERAPY. Cystic Fibrosis Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is a chronic disease, associated with thick, sticky mucus forming in.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062400/56649d8d5503460f94a756d1/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
CF in Reproductive Organs
Vas deferens in 95% of men with CF will become obstructed due to thicker secretions
Females experience thicker secretions as well, leading to thicker mucus near the cervix. Sperm have difficulty penetrating this mucus. Women experience infertility, but to a far lesser degree.
![Page 21: Cystic Fibrosis MEDICAL NUTRITION THERAPY. Cystic Fibrosis Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is a chronic disease, associated with thick, sticky mucus forming in.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062400/56649d8d5503460f94a756d1/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
CF in Sweat Glands
Sweat also has a higher concentration of sodium.
This high sodium content in sweat can be used for diagnosing CF.
![Page 22: Cystic Fibrosis MEDICAL NUTRITION THERAPY. Cystic Fibrosis Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is a chronic disease, associated with thick, sticky mucus forming in.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062400/56649d8d5503460f94a756d1/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

Energy Requirements
Energy Requirements are very individual, and change throughout life.
Needs based on gender, age, BMR, physical activity, respiratory infection, severity of lung disease, and severity of malabsorption
Higher energy expenditure due to the increase effector of breathing.
Shouldn’t decrease physical activity but rather increase energy needs for physically active CF patients
Special equation to estimate energy needs if laboratory methods aren’t available.
Children: High energy, moderate fat, and PERT
Adults: High energy to maintain weight.

Monitor of fat intolerance in the stool
Protein Needs 15-20% of total Calories
Protein needs generally met if adequate energy needs are met.
CHO Needs• Needs change as
disease progresses
• CF patients might become lactose intolerant

Pancreatic Enzyme Replacement Therapy
How to determine an adequate amount to give:
Dosage depends on: degree of pancreatic insufficiencies, the amount and content of food.
Should try to control GI symptoms (steatorrhea) and promote growth
Fecal elastase, fecal fat, or nitrogen balance studies.
Fecal elastase: is an enzyme secreted by the pancreas used to digest protein and is involved in hydrolysis of peptide bonds.

Feeding Strategies
Infants Breast feeding is encouraged
Pancreatic insufficiency give enzymes either mixed with food or directly into infants mouth
Formula fed: standard formula (20-27kcal/oz) with enzyme supplementation
High calorie formula may be necessary
Children and Adults Positive eating behaviors
Enjoyable meal times
