his thick, sticky mucus clogs passages and infection sets in.

  • frequent lung infections or pneumonia 
  • persistent wheezing
  • persistent cough with thick mucus
  • bulky, light-colored, foul-smelling bowel movements or diarrhea (because food isn't being digested properly)
  • failure to gain weight, even though the child eats normal amounts
  • very salty sweat
  • poor height growth

    People with CF get frequent lung infections that can damage their lungs over time and require strong antibiotics along with stays in the hospital. They may have trouble growing or gaining weight because of digestive problems.Adults with CF may also develop other illnesses, such as diabetes (when blood sugar is too high) or osteoporosis (a weakening of the bones).

This gene controls the flow of salt and fluids in and out of your cells. If the CFTR gene doesn't work the way it should, a sticky mucus builds up in your body.]]> 2022-03-30 16:16:49 UTC https://padlet.com/abravo0057/3xpcsgdkajn7iq3f/wish/2121840591
