What is Cystic Fibrosis?

Cystic Fibrosis is a chronic genetic disorder that damages the lungs and digestive system by affecting the protein in the body. It affects the body's cells, tissues, and glands that produce mucus and sweat. Naturally produced mucus, an important substance, is slippery and protects the airways, digestive tract, and other organs and tissues. But, the mucus becomes thick and sticky in people with cystic fibrosis which makes it difficult for the body to clear it out. This can lead to serious health issues like lung disease, liver disease, and diabetes over time. 

CF is more common among the younger population (below 18 years) with 75% of patients being diagnosed with the condition within 2 years of age. Patients need regular follow-up even if the child has no symptoms. Managing CF requires a multidisciplinary approach. Early identification of problems leads to more effective management and better outcomes.
