EXPLORING CYSTIC FIBROSIS: GASTROINTESTINAL CHALLENGES, MENTAL HEALTH IMPACTS, AND INNOVATIVE TREATMENTS"

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a hereditary rather inheritable mess and disturbance that exert influence on several organs. First and foremost the lungs and digestive system gets affected first.It is caused by variations and modifications and alteration in the CYSTIC FIBROSIS TRANSMEMBRANE CONDUCTANCE REGULATOR (cftr gene) leading to mass production of thick,semi solid, coagulated, gelatinous gluey mucus that clogs rather creates an obstruction in the ducts and passages in the body.
This study or piece of article investigates rather explores the gastrointestinal (GI) manifestation,indication, the influence on mental health, treatment methods, and wind up with an outlook on the future of CF management.
