Cystic fibrosis is a disease that affects the entire body. It tends
to be thought of as primarily a pulmonary disease since pulmonary
decline is the main factor in early mortality. Because of the
multi-system nature of the disease, a better understanding of
cystic fibrosis expands the family physician's understanding of
subjects ranging from genetics to pulmonary function to nutrition
to colon transport to hydration to electrolyte management. The
primary care philosophy is unique in that it always considers how a
narrow problem can affect an individual globally. Cystic Fibrosis
care can often feel fractured to patients as they are sent to
multiple specialists to deal with problems outside of the comfort
level of a prior or current specialist. With a broad medical
philosophy, care is more inclusive as clinicians can manage topics
such as diabetes and preventive care without multiple referrals and
additional appointments. Family physicians are well-positioned and
well-qualified to competently meet many of the care needs of those
with cystic fibrosis. This book is edited by a family medicine
physician who has specialist level experience with the disease. It
opens with a background on cystic fibrosis foundations and centers
to familiarize the reader. The next chapter gives a basic overview
of the disease. Each of the subsequent chapters provide a
comprehensive look at how cystic fibrosis affects other areas of
the body that the primary care physician should be familiar with.
Major components of cystic fibrosis such as physiology, spirometry,
inflammation, airway clearance, chronic infection, cystic fibrosis
related diabetes and pancreatic insufficiency, among others, are
thoroughly explained. Written by experts in the field, Cystic
Fibrosis in Primary Care appeals to all family physicians as well
as specialists, residents, medical students physician assistants
and nurse practitioners alike.
