AB Pancreatic  insufficiency  (PI)  is  a  term  used  to  define  patients  who  have  lost  a  significant  amount  (usually  >95%)  of  pancreatic  exocrine  function  and  therefore  their  ability  to  digest  and  assimilate  nutrients  normally.1  Cystic  fibrosis  (CF)  is  by  far  the  most  common  form  of  PI  in  children  and  the  focus  of  this  chapter.
