In Cystic Fibrosis liver disease (CFLD) has a nonunivocal definition, including difficulties in terms of epidemiology, natural history, as well as in the therapeutic choice where UDCA is currently the only available drug. Severe liver disease has a poor prognosis in CF. A better comprehension of safety/efficacy of innovative therapies on CFLD severity is mandatory to identify patients that might show more benefits than risks.
