- Sodium Status and Replacement in Children and Adults Living . . .
Patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) have a two- to four-fold higher sodium chloride sweat content compared with healthy controls This high sweat salt loss increases the risk for electrolyte disturbances, associated with subacute or chronic complications Sodium status therefore needs to be adequately monitored and salt intake adjusted to individual needs The lack of current evidence to
- The fractional excretion of sodium in patients with cystic . . .
Background: Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is a chronic disease associated with low sodium status The patients are usually treated with oral sodium chloride to control the side effects of low sodium status Therefore, the fractional excretion of sodium
- Tips for Overcoming Hyponatremia with Cystic Fibrosis
Occasionally, people with cystic fibrosis (CF) can experience electrolyte imbalances These electrolyte imbalances include hyponatremia, hypochloremia, hypokalemia, and metabolic alkalosis Collectively, these are referred to as Pseudo-Bartter syndrome The topic of this article is hyponatremia, also known as low sodium blood levels
- Low sodium status in cystic fibrosis—as assessed by . . .
Low sodium status in cystic fibrosis—as assessed by calculating fractional Na + excretion—is associated with decreased growth parameters
- Salt Replacement with Cystic Fibrosis - Hartford Hospital
As summer months approach, it is increasingly important to include foods that contain higher levels of sodium and focus on increasing fluid intake Examples of foods naturally high in sodium are cheese, potato chips pretzels, olives pickles, sauces gravies, and pizza
- Sodium Channels and Cystic Fibrosis - CHEST
The epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) represents the rate-limiting step of sodium absorption across airway epithelia and thereby constitutes the major pathway for volume absorption from the airway surface liquid compartment ENaC dysregulation leads to dehydration of airway surfaces in patients with cystic fibrosis, which in turn disrupts the primary innate lung defense mechanism, mucus
- Cystic Fibrosis and salt replacement therapy for adults . . .
Why do people with Cystic Fibrosis need extra salt? All people with cystic fibrosis (CF) lose large amounts of salt in their sweat Salt is made up of sodium and chloride Sodium is important for conducting nerve impulses, muscle contraction and growth It also controls the amount of water in the blood and tissues
