Purpose
The specific aims for this study are:
- To determine if sonographic findings predict the risk of progression of liver disease to cirrhosis by comparing cystic fibrosis subjects with heterogeneous echogenicity pattern on ultrasound to those with normal echogenicity pattern on ultrasound
- To develop a database and biorepository of serum, plasma, urine and DNA to aid the investigations in ascertaining the mechanisms, consequences, genetic risk factors and biomarkers for the development of cirrhosis
- To determine if there are differences in health related quality of life, pulmonary or nutritional status in children with cystic fibrosis who have a heterogeneous echo pattern on ultrasound compared to those who have a normal echo pattern on ultrasound
- To determine if Doppler velocity measurements of hepatic and splenic vessels predict an increased risk for the development of cirrhosis.
- To determine if cirrhosis on ultrasound progresses to portal hypertension during the study period
- To determine if homogeneous liver progresses to either cirrhosis or heterogeneous liver.

Primary Outcome Measures:
- Development of cirrhosis, as defined by imaging criteria [ Time Frame: Five years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]The primary objective of this prospective longitudinal study is to determine the utility of abdominal ultrasound (US) at enrollment to predict the development of cirrhosis in subjects with cystic fibrosis (CF) within a five year period.
Secondary Outcome Measures:
- Effects on associated pulmonary and nutritional issues [ Time Frame: 5 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Health related quality of life
- Growth (length, weight and BMI Z-score, anthropometrics)
- AST,ALT,GGTP
- FEV1, FVC
- Sputum Culture (Pseudomonas, Burkholderia cepacia)
- Use of IV antibiotics
- Hospitalization for treatment of pulmonary exacerbation
- CBC (WBC, Hbg, ANC, platelet count)
- Fat soluble vitamin levels (Vitamin E, 25 hydroxy vitamin D, Vitamin A)
Biospecimen Retention: Samples With DNA
During this study, blood and urine specimens will be obtained, de-identified and shipped to and stored at the NIDDK repositories for use in future CFLD ancillary studies. This "biobanking" is a critical aspect of this longitudinal study to facilitate the creation of a resource of DNA and other specimens from a meaningful number of patients with CFLD. In addition, obtaining and storing DNA or EBV-transformed leukocytes (from which DNA can be extracted) will allow future studies to investigate genetic causes and influences (modifier genes) in CFLD.

| Groups/Cohorts | Assigned Interventions |
|---|---|
|
Group A
Approximately 110 subjects with a heterogeneous echo pattern of the liver on abdominal ultrasound (HTG US).
|
Procedure: Abdominal Ultrasound
To establish eligibility and/or markers regarding echo pattern types.
Other Name: Doppler Ultrasound
Other: Sample collection procedures
Samples of urine, serum, plasma, and blood for DNA from children and blood for DNA from parents will be requested from participating subjects
Other Name: Doppler Ultrasound
|
|
Group B
Approximately 450 subjects with a normal echo pattern on abdominal ultrasound (NL US). Of these subjects, approximately 110 will be matched 1:1 with Group A participants and followed for the duration of the study. The remaining unmatched subjects will not be followed beyond their initial visit.
