infection

A

mucoviscidosis or cystic fibrosis

hypertonic (high Cl and Na) sweat “salty sweat”

A

Cystic Fibrosis

this is due to the ENaC having a decreased activity with CFTR mutatio

mutation tissues that will secrete acidic fluid. Forming a mucin precipitation, plugging of ducts and increase the binding of bacteria to plugs.

A

Childhood/adolescence

64
Q

Cystic Fibrosis

Pancreatic insufficiency (80-90%) can cause?

A

steatorrhea, malnutrition

fat is not absorbed properly so these undigested fats are expelled together with stools which is called steatorrhea. This, eventually, can lead to malnutrition.
