Cystic fibrosis is an inherited disease of the exocrine glands affecting primarily the GI and respiratory systems. It leads to COPD, exocrine pancreatic insufficiency, and abnormally high sweat electrolytes. Diagnosis is by sweat test or identification of 2 cystic fibrosis mutations in patients with characteristic symptoms. Treatment is supportive through aggressive interdisciplinary care.
The following organizations are good resources for information on cystic fibrosis:
* Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.
* Cystic Fibrosis Research, Inc. (CFRI).
A physician (Chest diseases) will attend such cases.
Please see the web pages for more details on Cystic fibrosis. |

I don't remember the type of specialist they are called but I would guess the doctor would be a lung specialist. Cystic Fibrosis is a genetic disease and deadly after a certain age but doctors have come a long way with the treatment, and now a days they can do a lung transplant along with the old treatment with the inhaler and clapping the back to remove the mucus |

Typically CF is treated at an accredited CF Center by a team including pulmonologists (both pediatric and adult) , GI docs, specialized nurses, dieticians and social workers and sometimes others such a fertility docs. CF is a complex disease affecting the exocrine organs with more then 1000 different CF alleles (or forms of the gene) now known. Each CF patient has their own individual form of the disease and that is why it is important to be treated by an experienced CF team. Gangadharan_n's sources are good. BTW there are several people in the US with CF that are over 70 years old! |
