Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disease that causes thick, sticky mucus to build up in the lungs and digestive system. It is usually inherited from a person's parents. The mucus clogs the lungs and leads to life-threatening lung infections. Treatments aim to clear mucus from the lungs, control infections, improve nutrition, and address other symptoms. Air pollution can worsen the lung problems associated with cystic fibrosis. The disease affects various organs and symptoms vary by individual, but the buildup of mucus in the lungs is a defining feature.

Mostly its a diseases of Hereditary and it also mostly from smoking or polluted air.
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a chronic, life-shortening disease that happens as a result of a
genetic defect. The defective gene interferes with the body’s ability to transfer water
and salt to and from cells. This causes secretions, which are normally thin and watery
in healthy people, to become very thick and sticky. The thick secretions clog up organs
and prevent them from working properly. Cystic fibrosis causes problems in the lungs
when the thick mucus builds up and gets stuck in the airways.
The transmit will take as thick areas of mucous develop in the lungs and allow for
certain types of harmful bacteria to grow in there. Also you will cough a lot (dies from
the infection). Mostly it will come from your parents DNA or your habits like smoking.

3. TREATMENT ON CYSTIC FIBROSIS
http://www.medicinenet.com/cystic_fibrosis/page3.htm
There were no treatment but now days we have some type of
treatment, example prevent and control lung infections, loosen and
remove thick, sticky mucus from the lungs, prevent or treat
blockages in the intestines, provide enough nutrition, and prevent
dehydration (a condition in which the body doesn't have enough
fluids). If you or your child has cystic fibrosis, you may be treated
by a cystic fibrosis specialist. Often, a cystic fibrosis specialist works
with a medical team of nurses, physical therapists, dietitians, and
social workers. Cystic fibrosis specialists often are located at major
medical centers.

Current numbers of non-Caucasian CF patients are small, collectively
they represent sizeable groups and increasingly more is becoming
known about the spectrum of mutations in the CFTR gene in different
populations. Such as, important to acknowledge that there will be
certain sociocultural challenges in interacting with and managing
such patients. This paper explores such developments and considers
some of the current and future challenges facing those who treat the
disease. Techniques applied in other illness contexts for establishing
and maintaining effective patient-professional relationships,
reviewing patient education, resolving treatment conflicts and
improving adherence are discussed, as are the implications for future
research.
