Abstract

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a rare multi-system autosomal-recessive genetic disease. Pancreatic exocrine deficiency (PEI) develops in 85-90% of patients. Proper monitoring of ongoing PEI treatment prevents the development of complications - cardiovascular events, osteoporosis, poor quality of life. In this case of a 32-year-old patient with advanced PEI, we demonstrate the modern approach to monitor patients in adulthood.
