CYSTIC FIBROSIS Overview
WHAT IS CYSTIC FIBROSIS?
Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disorder.
It is a disease that is passed down through families and is caused by a genetic mutation.
In a healthy person, mucus that lines organs and body cavities(like respiratory and digestive tract) is slippery and watery. In people who have CF, thick mucus clogs the airways and makes it difficult to breathe. Blocking the ducts in the pancreas causes problems with digesting food, so it gets difficult to absorb nutrients from food.
Other organs that are affected by CF are the liver, sinuses, intestines and sex organs. CF is a chronic (long-lasting) and progressive (getting worse over time) condition.
It is one of the most common chronic lung diseases in children and young adults
RISK FACTORS
- Race: mostly seen in caucasians(europeans). It is extremely rare in India.
- Sex: CF is diagnosed in males and females equally.
