The effects of cystic fibrosis primarily manifest in respiratory and digestive issues. These may include frequent lung infections, difficulty breathing, coughing, wheezing, poor growth and weight gain, malabsorption of nutrients, gastrointestinal blockages, and pancreatic insufficiency. While skin disorders can occur in individuals with cystic fibrosis, they are not as common or significant as the respiratory and digestive symptoms. Absence of pigment (albinism) and circulatory/cardiovascular diseases are not directly associated with cystic fibrosis.
