Best Answer

Cystic Fibrosis mainly affects the lungs, but can also affect organs like the Pancreas or intestines. This is a genetic disorder which causes the lungs to get covered with mucous, and blocks the pancreas' ability to absorb enzymes. Cystic Fibrosis can also limit the body's capacity to absorb nutrients and can lead to malnutrition.
