Gastroesophageal Reflux in Cystic Fibrosis: Current Understandings of Mechanisms and Management
Tóm tắt
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an inherited disease that affects both the lungs and the digestive system in children and adults. Thick mucus fills the gut and blocks lumens of the pancreas and hepatobiliary systems, creating insufficient pancreas function and liver disease. Chronic gastrointestinal (GI) complications, including intestinal obstruction, occur in neonates, and poor digestion and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in children. Although GI symptoms tend to improve with age, CF and associated GERD eventually create respiratory insufficiency; the only available treatment option at this stage is a bilateral lung transplant, which carries considerable morbidity and mortality. While GERD may reoccur as a complication of lung transplantation, GERD symptoms are often reduced following a fundoplication.

This paper from Kaitlin and Schultz provides an in depth overview of gastrointestinal complications as they relate to increasing morbidity in patients with cystic fibrosis. Topic review includes intestinal abnormalities (such as gastroesophageal reflux disease, meconium ileus, distal intestinal obstruction syndrome, intussusception, small intestine bacterial overgrowth, constipation, and rectal prolapse), pancreatic insufficiency, and hepatobiliary disease.

J Pediatr Gastroenterol Nutr. 2010;50(2):161–6. Blondeau et al. use combined esophageal pH monitoring and multichannel intraluminal impedance to assess the characteristics of GER (acidic, weakly acidic, and weakly alkaline) in children with cystic fibrosis. In this study, Blondeau and colleagues find that GER is a primary phenomenon in cystic fibrosis patients and not secondary to cough.

Gastroesophageal reflux (symptomatic and silent): a potentially significant problem in patients with cystic fibrosis before and after lung transplantation. J Heart Lung Trans. 2005;24:1522–9. Using esophageal pH monitoring with a dual pH probe, Button et al. found that GER (both the symptomatic and the silent) is significant in CF patients and contributes to declining lung function through microaspiration and reflux bronchospasm. The authors also show that pre-existing GER is exacerbated following lung replacement.

Blondeau and colleagues are the first to report the use of combined esophageal pH monitoring and multichannel intraluminal impedance to characterize the frequency and type (acid and non-acid) of GER in patients with cystic fibrosis. Also, in this study, Blondeau and colleagues found that treatment with PPI did not reduce the levels of pepsin and bile in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid.
