Progressive obstructive pulmonary disease, sinusitis, exocrine pancreatic insufficiency leading to malabsorption and malnutrition, liver and pancreatic dysfunction, and male infertility are all characteristics of the disease. Persistent pulmonary infections are caused by a lack of CFTR or its decreased function, leading to bronchiectasis and progressive lung destruction. Despite the fact that CF patients' lives are shortening, early diagnosis has helped improve patients' life span to a median age of around 50 years, including newborn screening, mild form identification, and a proactive therapy approach. Pancreatic enzyme replacement, respiratory physiotherapy, mucolytics, and strong antibiotic therapy are among treatments for CF. For the majority of people with severe symptoms, a lung or liver transplant is necessary. The CFTR protein is affected by a large number of mutations, each of which have diverse effects. Despite advances in our understanding of CFTR function and contemporary therapy, most of our knowledge of cystic fibrosis remains unclear. With the recent addition of mutation-specific treatments, future advances in health and quality of life for people with CF are likely to improve. The focus of research is on novel medications that restore CFTR function, some of which are now accessible and have a positive therapeutic impact, while others are showing promising preliminary results.","PeriodicalId":273389,"journal":{"name":"Cystic Fibrosis Treatment Options Discrepancy Globally","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129993358","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
