 | Separation of Diseases Once upon a time coeliac disease and cystic fibrosis were not really separated from each other, and merely existed within the category of "failure to thrive". As time went on, tests for absorption, and recognition of the histology of the jejunal lining, and a grasp of the genetics of CF and sweat tests made these obviously separate diseases, each managed very differently. As time goes by we can expect FTT to throw off several or many more diagnoses. |
