- The Importance of Postpartum Vitamin K Shot for CF Newborn
- Because most CF newborns quickly become pancreatic insufficient, they quickly lose the ability to assimilate fat-soluble vitamins from their gut. One of the important fat-soluble vitamins is Vitamin K. Vitamin K must be processed in the gut, usually with the aid of friendly bacteria.
