Severe bone demineralisation is associated with higher mortality in children with cystic fibrosis

osteoporosis is widely accepted within the CF community, however as said earlier, it's considered a far far 2nd or 3rd to lung issues.

the problems are simple: CFer's don't absorb fat soluble vitamins very well, which includes vitamin D. Vit D is essential for calcium absorption.

there are other issues as well, but this is a strong culprit.

Thx, Amy.

Sean's got clinic tomorrow so I'm going to make sure we ask about a bone density scan and a vitamin level check.
