Avatar f tn what is cystic fibrosis. im 30 weeks tmw and found out im a carrier of cystic fibrosis. is this bad? please tell me. this does not help me think im worried and cant think of anything else.
Avatar f tn They saw something that he thinks could be cystic fibrosis. Im not really sure what that is. does anybody have children with this. Does it make it harder. Is it scarey?
Avatar f tn Hi, welcome to the forum, if all other causes like respiratory tract infection, sinusitis etc. then another important possibility would be cystic fibrosis with predominantly respiratory involvement. But this needs to be evaluated in detail. Cystic fibrosis is a rare genetic disorder. He need to undergo investigations such as Sweat chloride, Molecular diagnosis and Nasal potential difference measurements to rule out this condition. The treatment is usually symptomatic.
Avatar f tn I never had hcg levels done... I got tested for syphilis, HIV, hep B, hep C, carrier status for cystic fibrosis, SPA, and one other thing I can't remember, my blood type and rH factor, immunity to measles, rubella, parvovirus, and chickenpox as well as my oral glucose tolerance test.
Avatar m tn Has he been checked for cystic fibrosis, celiac, lactose intolerance, or chronic pancreatitis? My four year old has similar symptoms. He had an EGD, colonoscopy, pancreatic stimulus test, sweat test, cystic fibrosis genetic screening, and stool samples to check fecal fat levels. My son's fecal fat levels were high. I am pretty sure that my son does not have cystic fibrosis because even though I am a carrier of the most common mutation, my husband's screen came back negative.
Avatar f tn I just found out that I am a carrier for cystic fibrosis. I will be 24 weeks tomorrow and they suggested having the father tested to see if he is a carrier also. I have two healthy children (with a different man) already and I don't want to stress my boyfriend out with this if its not necessary. Has anyone else had this and if so did your husband/boyfriend get the test done? Am I being careless by not having him tested? I just dont want to stress him out for nothing.
Avatar f tn I had my blood drawn on Monday for Cysitc Fibrosis, HIV, Glucose.... all the normal tests done in early pregnancy. I was wondering how long it usually takes to get these results back...
Avatar f tn Both came back abnormal. He is now testing for cystic fibrosis and celiac disease. I am a carrier of the cystic fibrosis mutation delta F508. My husband's carrier screen came back negative five years ago. My son is on a GFCF diet except for once in awhile when we go out to eat. He hadn't had gluten for quite some time before the fecal fat tests were done. He doesn't really have diarrhea or fever. Are we wasting our time with the CF genetics test and the celiac labs?
Avatar f tn There are different types of cystic fibrosis mutations in which some are worse than others. Cystic fibrosis has to do with the thickening of the mucous around the lungs, most can't digest their own food, they have trouble breathing and are put on different types of medication. As long as the doctors catch it in time, you shouldn't have a problem. Although there isn't a cure, they can keep it from getting worse or causing death.
Avatar f tn My son is a month old now but was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis when he was 2 weeks old. I am so heartbroken. But I want to know what to expect, and what I can do to make his life better. Please don't move this post to the cystic fibrosis forum, as nobody is on there and this is serious to me.
9768750 tn?1406394610 Hi Hun Iam a carrier for Cystic Fibrosis. My baby's father is not so it's not likely my son will have it. & correction she can't be a carrier for it. You can be only be the carrier meaning she may or may not have it.
Avatar n tn On my twenty week scan it showed an abnormal bowel. Either Side effect of having an Amniocentesis at 13 weeks or cystic fibrosis. I'm absolutely scared stiff. At least two weeks before getting any results. Anyone else been through the same?
Avatar f tn Because if baby has cystic fibrosis the drs will need to plan for babies care accordingly. Such as having a nicu team ready and in the room ect. Its not abour knowing for abortion purposes. Also if you know you can start the paperwork for disability. Its always best to know. Then you can join a support group, research and be as prepared as possible.
Avatar n tn Yesterday I got told that I am a career of cystic fibrosis should I worry.
Avatar f tn I am afraid because I read that this is related to cystic fibrosis and now I think I have it. I also have other symptoms like post nasal drip, seasonal allergies and mucus stuck on my thoath. I also sweat a lot but my sweat is not very salty. My sister also the wrinkling hands. So my question is could I have atypical/cystic fibrosis or at least be a carrier and what is my life expectancy? My doctor says I'm too old to be diagnosed with this, I'm 25 years old.
Avatar f tn List of Lab tests for CF • Pilocarpine iontophoresis (“sweat test”): diagnostic of cystic fibrosis in children if sweat chloride is >60 mmol/L (>80 mmol/L in adults) on two separate tests on consecutive days.
Avatar f tn I had 10 tubes drawn because I did my normal pre natal bloodwork, and I opted for Cystic Fibrosis testing as it was not offeren with my other 3......
Avatar f tn i would definitely have her checked for cystic fibrosis, especially if there is no relief to the symptoms. i know of someone who's children had chronic coughs and they weren't diagnoses until they were 10 and 15 yrs of age.
Avatar f tn I am 13 weeks pregnant and my boyfriend and I just found out that we are both carriers of cystic fibrosis. This scares me alot (thinking I may have a child that will only live into its 20's or 30's, and be sick its entire life)...on top of that fear....I have Hepatitus C as well. What are the chances that my child gets both? I got my first ultrasound the other day and they said everything looked fine so far, but that was before I knew about the Cystic Fibrois.
Avatar m tn - Nasal transepithelial potential difference (NTPD or NPD) testing can be used to assess the function of the cystic fibrosis gene product, a chloride channel called cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR). Certain measurements are characteristic of CF. - Clinical genetic testing for CF looks for mutations in the CFTR gene that cause the condition.
Avatar m tn Didn't know about the cystic fibrosis drug. Thanks for the info. Susie wrote:, "By the time the drug gets FDA approval, the bump up is long gone". I have to disagree, how could a company stock not continue to rise if they are making billions off of a new drug?
