2. Cystic fibrosis is a serious congenital disease manifested by tissue damage and impaired secretory activity
of exocrine glands, as well as functional disorders, primarily from the respiratory and digestive systems.
Changes in cystic fibrosis affect the pancreas, liver, sweat, salivary glands, intestines, bronchopulmonary
system. The disease is hereditary, with autosomal recessive inheritance (from both parents-carriers of the
mutant gene). Disturbances in organs with cystic fibrosis appear already in the intrauterine phase of
development, and with the age of the patient progressively increase. The earlier cystic fibrosis appeared, the
more severe the course of the disease, and the more serious its prognosis may be. In connection with the
chronic course of the pathological process, patients with cystic fibrosis need constant treatment and
supervision of a specialist.
