    Abstract Diagnosing cystic fibrosis (CF) in adulthood is not a rare occurrence for CF centers despite the popular belief that the diagnosis is achieved almost universally in childhood by means of newborn screening or early clinical presentation. The purpose of this review article is to highlight specific considerations of adult diagnosis of CF. Obtaining a diagnosis of CF at any age is exceptionally important to ensure optimal treatment, monitoring, and support. In the new era of more personalized treatment with the advent of transformative therapies targeting the underlying protein defect, accurate diagnosis is of increasing importance. This review highlights the diagnostic algorithm leading to a new diagnosis of CF in adults. The diagnosis is usually confirmed in the presence of a compatible clinical presentation, evidence of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) protein dysfunction, and/or identification of variants in the CFTR gene believed to alter protein function. Achieving the diagnosis, however, is not always straightforward as CFTR protein function exists on a continuum with different organs displaying varying sensitivity to diminution in function. We highlight the current knowledge regarding the epidemiology of CF diagnosed in adults and outline the various clinical presentations, including pulmonary and extrapulmonary, which are more common in this population. We expand on the stepwise testing procedures that lead to diagnosis, paying particular attention to additional levels of testing which may be required to achieve an accurate diagnosis. There continues to be an important need for both pulmonary and other specialists to be aware of the potential for later presentation of CF, as the improvements in treatment over decades have had large positive impacts on prognosis for people with this condition.

    Abstract The genetic multisystem condition cystic fibrosis (CF) has seen a paradigm shift in therapeutic approaches within the past decade. Since the first clinical descriptions in the 1930s, treatment advances had focused on the downstream consequences of a dysfunctional cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) chloride ion channel. The discovery of the gene that codes for CFTR and an understanding of the way in which different genetic mutations lead to disruption of normal CFTR function have led to the creation and subsequent licensing of drugs that target this process. This marks an important move towards precision medicine in CF and results from clinical trials and real-world clinical practice have been impressive. In this review we outline how CFTR modulator drugs restore function to the CFTR protein and the progress that is being made in this field. We also describe the real-world impact of CFTR modulators on both pulmonary and multisystem complications of CF and what this will mean for the future of CF care.

    Abstract Background: Elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor (E/T/I) therapy has resulted in substantial improvements in health status for many with cystic fibrosis. Monitoring of liver tests is recommended due to observed rises in transaminases in trials and cases of hepatotoxicity. Comprehensive data in large populations of unselected individuals and those with established CF related liver disease (CFLD) is lacking.
    Methods: Patients prescribed E/T/I at a large, adult centre had liver tests monitored at least 3 monthly for 12 months. Changes in individual liver tests were analysed and abnormalities were compared in those with and without CFLD.
    Results: 255 of 267 eligible patients were included. Mild rises in median ALT, AST and bilirubin from baseline to 3 months (all p < 0.001) within normal limits were noted which were sustained. There were no differences in changes in liver tests between those with or without CFLD. There was a significant difference in alkaline phosphatase for those with raised levels at baseline versus those with normal baseline level (-18.5 vs +2.0 IU/L, p = 0.002). Clinically significant rises in ALT and AST occurred in 8 (3.1%) and 6 (2.4%) cases respectively, with derangements in 2 individuals attributed to therapy.
    Conclusions: E/T/I leads to a mild, likely clinically insignificant increase in ALT, AST and bilirubin after 3 months which is sustained but does not appear to increase further in the vast majority. Underlying CFLD should not be a barrier to treatment. Although there was a reduction in ALP when elevated at baseline, this was not unique to those with pre-existing CFLD.

    Abstract Purpose of review: The purpose of this review is to describe on-going and upcoming real-world studies that will aid the cystic fibrosis (CF) community in understanding the long-term efficacy, safety and challenges in utilizing this therapy and managing care.
    Recent findings: The triple combination of elexacaftor, tezacaftor and ivacaftor (ETI) has been demonstrated to improve lung function, weight and quality of life in children and adults with CF with at least one copy of Phe508del. Treatment with ETI will potentially be available for approximately 90% of the CF population and change the face of CF.
    Summary: In spite of early demonstrations of short-term efficacy and safety, for medications that may be given for much of someone's life, continued assessment of these outcomes is necessary. Furthermore, the CF community must evaluate and address the issues that arise with increased longevity including parenthood, preventive care management and the potential comorbidities of aging.
