Research Notes on Cystic Fibrosis Complications
Cystic fibrosis is a hereditary disorder brought about by an alteration in the gene called the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR). This ailment causes severe lung damage due to thickened mucus secretions that clog the tubes, ducts, and passageways of the lungs. With proper treatment, development of complications such as respiratory infections, nutritional and vitamin deficiencies can be delayed or completely prevented.
