Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disorder which significantly reduces the lungs’ ability to vacate mucus. The condition leads to chronic lung infections and tissue damage, which eventually prove fatal. Advancements in airway clearing techniques (ACTs) along with new medications have improved mucus-clearing...

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is the most common life-shortening inherited disease in the USA, affecting approximately 30,000 children and adults. This autosomal recessive disorder is caused by mutations in the gene encoding the cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator (CFTR) (Riordan et al., Science 245:...
What Is Cystic Fibrosis?The Cystic Fibrosis Gene
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetically inherited disease that results in persistent lung infections and gastrointestinal issues that gradually damage many organs. It affects the lungs the most, but also thedigestive system, including the pancreas, liver, intestines, and kidneys. CF may also impact ...
Cystic fibrosis is a progressive, genetic disorder that affects the lungs, pancreas and other organs. This lifelong condition is caused by mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene. To have CF, a person must inherit two copies of the mutated CFTR gene, getti...

CF is an inherited disease that affects secretory glands which create mucus and sweat in the body. CF thickens the usually thin, water-based mucus that coats the body’s organs. The thick, sticky mucus then builds up and blocks the airways in the lungs.
Is cystic fibrosis painful? Results: We found ahigh prevalence of painful episodes amongCF adult patients, as for both intensity and frequency. In a 2 months period 32.6% of patients experienced episodes of pain described as intense to severe, and 29.7% had more than 10 occurrences of pain ...
As cystic fibrosis (CF) is diagnosed in childhood, it is important that patients are educated from an early age on the importance of their diet and on the application of enzymes. The Royal Victoria Infirmary Trust employs a paediatric dietitian to provide dietetic advice to patients with CF and...
