Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disease characterized by multi-symptomatic disorders affecting the endocrine glands, respiratory and digestive organs.
An important criterion for the quality of cystic fibrosis treatment is the quality and longevity of patients' lives. In countries with developed, modern medicine, life expectancy reaches 40-50 years.
The disease is autosomal recessive – the birth of an affected child is due to both parents carrying the mutant gene.
Due to the relative prevalence of cystic fibrosis, it is recommended that all prospective parents undergo genetic testing and counseling for cystic fibrosis, as well as for syndromes such as fragile X syndrome, spinal muscular atrophy, velocardiofacial syndrome, Prader-Willi syndrome, Angelman syndrome, and others.
Our genetic center conducts all possible genetic and diagnostic tests and procedures, analyses, and consultations regarding cystic fibrosis treatment and prenatal diagnosis aimed at preventing the birth of an affected child and family planning.
The possibilities of in vitro fertilization allow for the selective implantation of healthy embryos into the uterus and carrying a healthy child to term.
Cystic fibrosis treatment is possible and requires a comprehensive, multidisciplinary, and individualized approach to the patient. Therapeutic nutrition, enzymatic correction of digestive function (pancreatin and lipotropic enzymes), symptomatic and intensive treatment of the respiratory organs, and physical activity are indicated.
Our specialists are world-renowned doctors who have trained in leading medical centers in the USA, Canada, Europe, and Israel. Modern Israeli medicine successfully treats cystic fibrosis and guarantees healthy family planning.
