Draw a Schematic diagram or Graph chart for the nonpharmacological management of cystic fibrosis?
Cystic fibrosis is an Autosomal Recessive disease that is inherited as a mutation in the CFTR gene.
Defect:-
The chloride channels across the epithelium are either absent or impaired. Most commonly affected areas are the respiratory mucosa, digestive tract including liver and pancreas, vas deferens, and sweat glands.
Pathogenesis:-
As a result of absent chloride transport across the epithelial membrane, there is a build up of mucus in the respiratory tract leading to chronic infections and difficulty breathing, blockage of cystic and pancreatic ducts leading to chronic hepatitis, pancreatitis and diabetes mellitus, infertility due to involvement of the vas deferens.
