Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an inherited disorder that causes damage to the lungs, digestive system and other organs in the body. Cystic fibrosis affects the cells that produce mucus, sweat and digestive juices. These fluids are normally thin and slippery.
Cystic fibrosis is a common genetic disease within the white population in the United States. The disease occurs in 1 in 2,500 to 3,500 white newborns. Cystic fibrosis is less common in other ethnic groups, affecting about 1 in 17,000 African Americans and 1 in 31,000 Asian Americans. The normal age of people who are diagnosed of cystic fibrosis is 6-8 months; two thirds of patients are diagnosed by 1 year of age.
CF is not just a lung disease. A lot of people think CF is like asthma. CF affects more than the lungs. It affects the reproductive system, the kidneys, the liver, and the digestive system.
