Nutritional therapies have been key early interventions  and remain central to the well-being
and survival of patients with cystic fibrosis. The nature of the disease causes significant
alterations in a patient¿s ability to process and assimilate nutrients. Furthermore  many
factors contribute to higher metabolic demands throughout a patient¿s life. In combination 
maldigestion  malabsorption  and increased metabolic demands pose a high hurdle for the patient
to overcome in order to maintain optimal nutritional status. Nutrition in Cystic Fibrosis: A
Guide for Clinicians is an excellent resource for physicians  nurses and dietitians who deliver
care for patients with cystic fibrosis. The book provides an introduction to cystic fibrosis
and nutritional assessments. It will also serve as a comprehensive guide to the nutritional
monitoring and management of patients with cystic fibrosis including special populations within
cystic fibrosis that require additional considerations. The chapters are written by experts in
their fields and include the most up to date scientific and clinical information. Nutrition in
Cystic Fibrosis: A Guide for Clinicians targets pediatric and adult pulmonologists and
gastroenterologists  residents and fellows  internists  pediatricians  nurses  dietitians and
general practitioners who treat patients with cystic fibrosis.
