Abstract
Background: Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an autosomal recessive, chronic, potentially lethal genetic disease. CF manifestations are due to mutations in the CF transmembrane receptor transporter (CFTR) gene which codes for a protein (CFTR) that acts as an anion transporter, mainly chlorine, at epithelial cells where it is expressed. Cystic fibrosis related liver disease (CFRLD) includes a spectrum of hepatobiliary manifestations whose diagnosis and follow-up remains a challenge.
Methods: Cross-sectional, descriptive study from 10 Spanish Cystic fibrosis Units. Clinical and biochemical data obtained. Patients categorized into 3 groups according to liver involvement based on ESPGHAN 2017 criteria. Liver stiffness assessed by transient elastography (TE) and findings from abdominal ultrasound recorded. Statistics performed using SPSS v25.0.
Results: We obtained hepatic TE data from 155 pediatric CF patients. Forty-four classified as CFRLD, 38 (86%) had CFRLD without cirrhosis and 6 (14%) had cirrhosis. Fourteen patients without CFRLD (12%) had ultrasound abnormalities. Mean liver elastography value (kPa) was 4.7 (3.5-5.3) in non-CFRLD and 6.09 (4.4-6.7) in CFRLD (p=0.01;Tstudent [T]).
Conclusions: CFRLD is common in children with CF. Transient elastography is a useful method for diagnosis and follow-up, as higher values of TE are found in patients with CFRLD.
