Glomerulonephritis and the Cystic Fibrosis Patient

Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is a disease with an evolving definition. Through earlier diagnosis and newborn screening programs, as well as a robust world-wide research program, we are able to treat individuals afflicted with this life-threatening malady more aggressively and with earlier interventions. Despite our progress in extending the life expectancy of the typical CF patient, the disease is still viewed by the general medical community as one of childhood.
