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.

背景：囊性纤维化（CF）是一种常染色体隐性、慢性、潜在致死性遗传病。CF表现是由于CF跨膜受体转运体（CFTR）基因突变所致，该基因编码的蛋白质（CFTR）在其表达的上皮细胞中起阴离子转运作用，主要是氯。囊性纤维化相关肝病（CFRLD）包括一系列肝胆表现，其诊断和随访仍是一项挑战：方法：对西班牙 10 个囊性纤维化单位进行横断面描述性研究。获得临床和生化数据。根据 2017 年 ESPGHAN 标准，根据肝脏受累情况将患者分为 3 组。通过瞬态弹性成像（TE）评估肝脏硬度，并记录腹部超声波检查结果。使用 SPSS v25.0 进行统计：我们获得了155名儿科CF患者的肝脏TE数据。其中 44 例被归类为 CFRLD，38 例（86%）为无肝硬化的 CFRLD，6 例（14%）为肝硬化。14名无 CFRLD 的患者（12%）出现超声波异常。非CFRLD患者的平均肝脏弹性成像值（kPa）为4.7（3.5-5.3），CFRLD患者的平均肝脏弹性成像值（kPa）为6.09（4.4-6.7）（P=0.01；Tstudent [T]）：CFRLD在CF儿童中很常见。瞬态弹性成像是诊断和随访的有效方法，因为在 CFRLD 患者中发现了较高的 TE 值。
