[Transport of electrolytes in the respiratory epithelium in patients with cystic fibrosis].
In the conducting airway, the epithelial electrolyte transport processes play an important role in determining the composition of the respiratory tract fluid. Apical membrane Cl- and Na+ channels control the secretion and absorption of epithelial cells. Defective regulation of these channels is a prominent characteristic of cystic fibrosis.
