Understanding Cystic Fibrosis

Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disease that makes mucus thick and sticky, mainly affecting the lungs and digestion, but modern treatments now make it possible to live better with the disease.

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an inherited condition that causes functional disorders in a group of glands called exocrine glands. Exocrine glands normally produce clear, fluid secretions. In people with CF, these secretions are thick and viscous. The disorders caused by CF are mainly related to the respiratory and digestive systems, in addition to affecting other systems.
