Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic condition that affects a protein in the body. People with cystic fibrosis have a faulty protein that affects the body’s cells, its tissues, and the glands that make mucus and sweat.
Normal mucus is slippery and protects the airways, digestive tract, and other organs and tissues. Cystic fibrosis causes mucus to become thick and sticky. As mucus builds up, it can cause blockages, damage, or infections in affected organs.
Symptoms of Cystic fibrosis
Signs and symptoms may vary depending on the severity of diseases. Sometimes people may not experience symptoms until their teenage years or adulthood.
Respiratory Symptoms may include:
- A persistent cough that produces thick mucus (sputum)
- Wheezing
- Exercise intolerance
- Repeated lung infections
- Inflamed nasal passages or a stuffy nose
- Recurrent sinusitis
