Abstract: Current study was aimed to discuss and overview the diagnosis and treatment approaches of cystic fibrosis disease (CF), and intended also do highlight the etiology of this disease especially the role of genetics in CF. New treatments are being developed that have the possible to treat the causes, rather than just the symptoms, of CF lung disease. Detailed Search was conducted through Medical Databases; PubMed/ Medline, and Emabse, searching relevant articles discussing the diagnostic approaches as well as treatment of cystic fibrosis, published in English language (as it was restricted applied) up to January, 2017. Moreover, we searched references lists of selected articles for more relevant studies that could been useful in this matter, and we restricted all search studies to human subject only. There is continuing development on treating the downstream elements of CF, such as sputum retention, airway infection, and inflammation, however our improving understanding of the underlying pathophysiology will help us target the early problems in CF, and early arise from studies of a number of substances look appealing. Dealing with the early and root causes of CF will improve results and hopefully also reduce the considerable burdens of treatment. It would be perfect to develop a "single hit" treatment and hence anticipate other treatments, however till that treatment is found, we continue to look for ways to reduce the development of the disease process.
