Club of the cystic fibrosis patients
People with cystic fibrosis have much saltier perspiration, which is why they are called "salty kids" in layman's terms. Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a hereditary and incurable disease. It seriously impairs the digestive and respiratory systems. Abnormally thick mucus that remains in bronchial passages and the pancreas is characteristic of the disease. Cystic fibrosis also brings other complications – includingdiabetes, cirrhosis of the liver, osteoporosis and infertility in men. Roughly half of those with the disease today will live to 32 years of age. Those with the disease need demanding treatments every day. The Czech Cystic Fibrosis Association was founded in 1992, and is the only organisation of its kind in the Czech Republic bringing together those affected by the disease.
