Cystic Fibrosis

Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is a genetic disorder that affects the way the body produces and transports a type of protein known as mucus. It is a life-threatening condition that affects the lungs, digestive system, and other organs. Symptoms vary from person to person, but can include frequent lung infections, difficulty breathing, and poor digestion. In severe cases, it may lead to respiratory failure, malnutrition, and even death. Treatment is aimed at managing symptoms and improving quality of life, and involves antibiotics, airway clearance techniques, and nutritional supplements. With advances in medical care, many people living with CF have longer life expectancy and a better quality of life.
