Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an inherited disorder that causes severe damage to the lungs, digestive system and other organs in the body. Cystic fibrosis affects the cells that produce mucus, sweat and digestive juices. It can cause sticky mucus to build up in the lungs and digestive system. This causes lung infections and problems with digesting food.
