The Significance of Chronic Inflammation
Chronic inflammation, a prolonged and persistent inflammatory response in the body, differs from acute inflammation in its duration and location. While acute inflammation is a short-term intruder, chronic inflammation lasting for an extended period in inappropriate areas can have devastating effects. Chronic inflammation, often unnoticed, can lead to various metabolic disorders. Despite being crucial for healing wounds and fighting infections, chronic inflammation can become harmful if sustained. Factors like obesity can contribute significantly to chronic inflammation, emphasizing the importance of understanding its underlying causes and potential impacts.
