COPD and Lungs

Cystic Fibrosis

Cystic fibrosis (CF) may be a serious genetic condition that causes severe damage to the respiratory and digestive systems. This damage often results from a build-up of thick, sticky mucus within the organs. When mucus clogs the lungs, it can become very difficult for an individual to breathe. The thick mucus also allows for germs to thrive and multiply, which may end in infections and inflammation and sometimes results in severe lung damage and respiratory failure.
