Abstract
The cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator protein (CFTR) is a chloride and bicarbonate channel situated at the apical surface of secretory membranes. Cystic fibrosis (CF) results from a dysfunction of this ion channel. CFTR dysfunction affects the pancreas, hepatobiliary system, and the intestinal tract. This chapter describes the gastrointestinal and nutritional manifestations of CF with current medical management.
