Abstract
Cystic fibrosis is a progressive genetic condition causing thick, sticky mucus buildup in organs like the lungs and digestive system. Cystic fibrosis occurs due to the mutation in the Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane conductance Regulator(CFTR) gene inherited from both parents. Symptoms of cystic fibrosis vary and can include chronic cough, wheezing, greasy stool, lung infection, and poor growth. The Sweat Test is used to diagnose Cystic Fibrosis. It checks for the amount of chloride in one's sweat. While there's no cure for cystic fibrosis, treatment focuses on symptom management, such as ensuring clear airways and maintaining proper nutrition through medications, therapies, and sometimes surgery.
