Abstract

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a life-threatening genetic disorder that primarily affects the lungs and digestive system, characterized by the production of thick, sticky mucus. Effective management of CF requires a multidisciplinary approach to improve patient outcomes and quality of life. This article explores the pathophysiology of cystic fibrosis, its clinical manifestations, and current management strategies, including respiratory care, nutritional support, and innovative therapies. Additionally, the role of psychological support and the importance of patient education and family involvement in managing this complex condition will be emphasized. By integrating various management strategies, healthcare providers can significantly enhance the lives of those affected by cystic fibrosis.
