Cystic fibrosis causes a thick, sticky mucus to build up in various organs including the lungs, pancreas, and sweat glands. This results in a high sodium chloride (salt) content in sweat and saliva, leading to noticeable saltiness of sweat and possible dehydration. Excess bile production (A) is not a commonly associated symptom of cystic fibrosis. Gastric ulcers (C) are not a direct result of cystic fibrosis, but may be present in some individuals with the condition due to increased inflammation and acid production. While individuals with cystic fibrosis may be more susceptible to ear and sinus infections (D), this is not a direct effect of the condition itself.
