“Although most known for its effect on the lungs, cystic fibrosis is a far-reaching condition that affects most of the body’s systems.
Cystic fibrosis is a chronic condition that’s primarily associated with breathing difficulties, lung infections, and persistent wheezing. But people with cystic fibrosis can experience a wide range of complications and symptoms throughout their bodies.
The sticky mucus that causes classic cystic fibrosis systems can also lead to the blockage of important body ducts and tubes. As a result, enzymes, proteins, and other body substances don’t travel correctly. This can lead to complications to organs other than just the lungs!”
