Definition von cystic fibrosis im Englisch Englisch wörterbuch: An inherited condition in which the exocrine glands produce abnormally viscous mucus, causing chronic respiratory and digestive problems; A hereditary disorder which affects the exocrine glands and results in the production of abnormally thick mucus, leading to the blockage of the pancreatic ducts, intestines, and bronchi; Cystic fibrosis is a serious disease of the glands which usually affects children and can make breathing difficult. A hereditary disease of the exocrine glands, usually developing during early childhood and affecting mainly the pancreas, respiratory system, and sweat glands. It is characterized by the production of abnormally viscous mucus by the affected glands, usually resulting in chronic respiratory infections and impaired pancreatic function. Also called mucoviscidosis. a serious medical condition, especially in children, in which breathing and digesting food is very difficult (fibrosis 1800-1900 , from fibra; FIBER). or mucoviscidosis Inherited metabolic disorder characterized by production of thick, sticky mucus. It is recessive (see recessiveness) and the most common inherited disorder (about 1 per 2,000 live births) in those of European ancestry. Concentrated mucous secretions in the lungs plug the bronchi, making breathing difficult, promoting infections, and producing chronic cough, recurrent pneumonia, and progressive loss of lung function, the usual cause of death. The secretions interfere with digestive enzymes and block nutrient absorption. Abnormally salty sweat is the basis for diagnosis of cystic fibrosis. Treatment includes enzyme supplements, a diet high in calories, protein, and fat, vigorous physical therapy, and antibiotics. Persons with cystic fibrosis once seldom survived beyond childhood; now more than half reach adulthood, though males are usually sterile; A serious genetic disease of excretory glands, affecting lungs and other organs; it causes production of very thick mucus that interferes with normal digestion and breathing; Disease where mucus production in the lungs is abnormal, both in quantity and consistency Patients newly presenting asthma symptoms are usually tested for CF using a sweat test This is standard procedure in order to rule out CF as a cause of the patient's symptoms Cough-variant asthma and CF present very similar symptoms For more on CF, visit the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation; An inherited disease that affects the pancreas, respiratory system and sweat glands, which usually begins in infancy and is characterized by chronic respiratory infection, pancreatic insufficiency and heat intolerance Prognosis is poor as there is no cure, but antibiotics have prolonged the life of manypatients; An inherited disease that causes the glands to produce thick mucus; Genetic Disease with Bronchial Fluid Accumulation, resulting in Higher Susceptibility to Infections; disease of the mucus and sweat glands which causes disorders of the lungs and pancreas CF is the leading cause of chronic lung disease in children and young adults and is the most common fatal hereditary disorder affecting Caucasians in the U S; A recessive genetic disorder affecting the mucus lining of the lungs, leading to breathing problems and other difficulties; an inherited disease in which a thick mucus clogs the lungs and blocks the ducts of the pancreas; the most common congenital disease; the child's lungs and intestines and pancreas become clogged with thick mucus; caused by defect in a single gene; there is no cure; A potentially lethal human disease of secretory cells, showing excess lung mucus secretion, and inherited as an autosomal recessive on chromosome 7 CF is caused by mutations in a gene encoding the cystic fibrosis membrane conductance regulator, a transmembrane protein involved in ion transport; A genetic condition characterized by thickened secretions in the lungs, bronchiectesis (see above) and repeated pulmonary infections Some patients have digestive problems, resulting in difficulty absorbing food; inherited children's disease in which there is fibrosis of the pancreas and respiratory infections; An inherited disorder that causes a dysfunction of the pancreas, mucus, salivary, and sweat glands; also causes severe respiratory difficulties; (sis-tik-fi-bro-sis) A disease of infants, children, adolescents, and young adults, involving the mucus secreting glands, which results in chronic pulmonary disease, pancreatic insufficiency, and abnormally high sweat electrolyte levels The affection is believed to be genetically transmitted; an inherited autosomal recessive condition that causes the secretion of abnormal mucus in the lungs and problems with pancreas function and food absorption; An inherited disease of exocrine glands, affecting most characteristically the pancreas, respiratory system, and sweat glands, usually beginning in infancy and typified by chronic respiratory infections, pancreatic insufficiency, and susceptibility to heat prostration Cirrhosis of liver occurring in childhood is common and may produce portal hypertension, splenomegaly, and hypersplenism; In the western world the most frequently determined genetic illness (autosomal recessive inherited) The gene for a chloride channel (CFTR) is affected, whose function is then limited and leads to mucilaginization, particularly in the respiratory tract Secondary infections with Pseudomonas aeruginosa frequently result from that Other organs are also affected (intestine, pancreas) The quality of life of patients is very restricted and the life expectation currently extends to the age of 30; A genetic disease characterized by extremely thick bodily secretions in the digestive and pulmonary systems Sticky, tenacious secretions in the lungs lead to frequent, debilitating infections, subsequent irreversible lung damage, and eventual early death due to respiratory failure Conscientious bronchial hygiene is essential in the treatment of CF; cf
