Cystic fibrosis is a congenital hereditary disease in which the work of the exocrine glands is disturbed. The respiratory and digestive systems are the most affected by pathology.
The reasons for the development of cystic fibrosis are a violation of the structure of the synthesized protein – it becomes thick and viscous. Stagnation of mucus, an increase in sodium and chlorine in it lead to the fact that the epithelium of the glands of internal secretion begins to be replaced by connective tissue and decreases in size.
The result of this genetic defect is the accumulation of thick and sticky mucus in the respiratory, digestive and reproductive systems of the body. Another anomaly associated with this disorder is the increased salt content in the patient’s sweat.
