Although generally thought to have a later presentation [ 1 ] than other primary intestinal malabsorption syndromes, recent reports of infants with SI deficiency indicate the existence of an early onset form (presentation of diarrhea at 2-16 weeks) that is complicated by severe malnutrition [ 2 ] . Starnes and Walsh [ 3 ] observed renal calculi in two adults with sucrase deficiency, but neither patient had evidence of hypercalcemia.
The results indicate that bile acid malabsorption in CF is not caused by a defect in sodium-dependent bile acid transport at the brush border membrane suggesting another mechanism is operative.
found significant decreases in active bile acid uptake when examining ileal brush border membrane vesicles [ 11 ] and proposed that altered viscosity of the ileal mucus was likely not a factor in ileal bile acid malabsorption associated with cystic fibrosis.
Untreated children and adults with cystic fibrosis excrete amounts of fecal bile acids similar to patients with ileal resections [ 20 21 ] . Based on kinetic studies, this increased fecal loss appears to be secondary to an interrupted enterohepatic circulation of bile acids [ 20 21 ] . Bile acid malabsorption in cystic fibrosis appears to be due in part to diminished secretion of pancreatic enzymes and the presence of un-hydrolyzed triglycerides.
Supplementation with pancreatic enzymes and a low-fat diet can markedly reduce the fecal excretion of bile acids [ 9 10 20 23 ] . Other evidence, however, suggests that a diminished capacity of the ileal mucosa for bile acid uptake plays a significant role in bile acid malabsorption associated with cystic fibrosis that is independent of triglyceride concentrations.
