pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy (pert)

Why is PERT important in Pediatrics?

In children, conditions like cystic fibrosis, chronic pancreatitis, and other genetic or congenital disorders can lead to pancreatic insufficiency. Without adequate enzyme replacement, these children can suffer from malnutrition, poor growth, and gastrointestinal symptoms like diarrhea and abdominal pain. PERT ensures that these children receive the necessary nutrients for growth and development.
