ABSTRACT

RESUMEN Fundamento: aunque la enfermedad hepática crónica como complicación de la fibrosis quística ha sido eclipsada por otros signos y síntomas más obvios a nivel respiratorio y pancreático, constituye la segunda causa de muerte en los pacientes con fibrosis quística. Objetivo: presentar el caso de una transicional de tres años con hepatomegalia y pruebas analíticas hepáticas alteradas como manifestaciones iniciales de la fibrosis quística. Caso clínico: paciente de tres años, femenina, con historia de distensión abdominal, hepatomegalia y desnutrición. Por esta sintomatología es remitida a la consulta de Gastroenterología. Conclusiones: se debe sospechar la fibrosis quística en pacientes pediátricos con hepatopatía crónica. Se observó mejoría clínica de las manifestaciones respiratorias y del estado nutricional, sin embargo, la hepatopatía evolucionó a la cirrosis hepática establecida.


ABSTRACT Background: although the chronic hepatic illness as complication of the cystic fibrosis has been eclipsed by other signs and more obvious symptoms at breathing and pancreatic level, is the second cause of death in the patients with cystic fibrosis. Objective: to present the case of a three year-old transitional one with hepatomegaly and hepatic analytic tests altered as initial manifestations of the cystic fibrosis. Clinical case: a three-year old, female patient with history of abdominal distension, hepatomegaly, and malnutrition. For this symptoms, she is remitted to the Gastroenterology consultation. Conclusions: the cystic fibrosis should be suspected in pediatric patient with chronic hepatic diseases. Clinical improvement of the breathing manifestations was observed and of the nutritional state, however the chronic hepatic disease evolved to the established hepatic cirrhosis.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder characterized by dysfunction of the CFTR gene. It is a multisystem disease that most often affects White individuals. In recent decades, various advances in the diagnosis and treatment of CF have drastically changed the scenario, resulting in a significant increase in survival and quality of life. In Brazil, the current neonatal screening program for CF has broad coverage, and most of the Brazilian states have referral centers for the follow-up of individuals with the disease. Previously, CF was limited to the pediatric age group. However, an increase in the number of adult CF patients has been observed, because of the greater number of individuals being diagnosed with atypical forms (with milder phenotypic expression) and because of the increase in life expectancy provided by the new treatments. However, there is still great heterogeneity among the different regions of Brazil in terms of the access of CF patients to diagnostic and therapeutic methods. The objective of these guidelines was to aggregate the main scientific evidence to guide the management of these patients. A group of 18 CF specialists devised 82 relevant clinical questions, divided into five categories: characteristics of a referral center; diagnosis; treatment of respiratory disease; gastrointestinal and nutritional treatment; and other aspects. Various professionals working in the area of CF in Brazil were invited to answer the questions devised by the coordinators. We used the PubMed database to search the available literature based on keywords, in order to find the best answers to these questions.


RESUMO A fibrose cística (FC) é uma doença genética autossômica recessiva caracterizada pela disfunção do gene CFTR. Trata-se de uma doença multissistêmica que ocorre mais frequentemente em populações descendentes de caucasianos. Nas últimas décadas, diversos avanços no diagnóstico e tratamento da FC mudaram drasticamente o cenário dessa doença, com aumento expressivo da sobrevida e qualidade de vida. Atualmente, o Brasil dispõe de um programa de ampla cobertura para a triagem neonatal de FC e centros de referência distribuídos na maior parte desses estados para seguimento dos indivíduos. Antigamente confinada à faixa etária pediátrica, tem-se observado um aumento de pacientes adultos com FC tanto pelo maior número de diagnósticos de formas atípicas, de expressão fenotípica mais leve, assim como pelo aumento da expectativa de vida com os novos tratamentos. Entretanto, ainda se observa uma grande heterogeneidade no acesso aos métodos diagnósticos e terapêuticos para FC entre as diferentes regiões brasileiras. O objetivo dessas diretrizes foi reunir as principais evidências científicas que norteiam o manejo desses pacientes. Um grupo de 18 especialistas em FC elaborou 82 perguntas clínicas relevantes que foram divididas em cinco categorias: características de um centro de referência; diagnóstico; tratamento da doença respiratória; tratamento gastrointestinal e nutricional; e outros aspectos. Diversos profissionais brasileiros atuantes na área da FC foram convidados a responder as perguntas formuladas pelos coordenadores. A literatura disponível foi pesquisada na base de dados PubMed com palavras-chave, buscando-se as melhores respostas às perguntas dos autores.
