Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic disorder that affects mostly the lungs, but also the pancreas, liver, kidneys, and intestine.Long-term issues include difficulty breathing and coughing up mucus as a result of frequent lung infections. Other signs and symptoms may include sinus infections, poor growth, fatty stool, clubbing of the fingers and toes, and infertility in most males.Different people may have different degrees of symptoms.
CF is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner. It is caused by the presence of mutations in both copies of the gene for the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) protein.Those with a single working copy are carriers and otherwise mostly normal. CFTR is involved in production of sweat, digestive fluids, and mucus.When the CFTR is not functional, secretions which are usually thin instead become thick. The condition is diagnosed by a sweat test and genetic testing. Screening of infants at birth takes place in some areas of the world.

How do people know when and how to start looking at testing for other things than just asthma when severe asthma doesn't look like its the only thing going on? There are things like CF, listed in this video, and Alpha 1 and other things, and sometimes its unexplainable why these kinds of cases someone has lung infections almost all the time. This doesn't seem like only asthma when people always have lung infections and constant phlegm cough. But some cases labeled as severe people never seem to even get anywhere but getting out of bed is hard from 1 day to the next and coughing phlegm for hours after eating... it seems like there's a lot of things that could be going on but someone doesn't actually say how you get tested or how to know if its these other conditions?
And some people were born before testing for these other conditions became standard at hospital birthing wards.
