Abstract:BackgroundCystic fibrosis (CF) is an autosomal recessive disease. It affects multiple organ systems, including the liver, leading to CF‐related liver disease (CFLD). It was noted that CFLD in Egyptian children with CF is more common than in non‐Egyptian people with CF (pwCF). This study aimed to determine the incidence of CFLD and the potential risk factors for developing CFLD in Egyptian children. The correlation between CFLD and the various genotypes prevalent in Egyptian CF children will be discussed. In ad… Show more
