Macrophagocyte

Macrophages are blood cells that can absorb and digest other body cells, microorganisms or toxic substances. In the body, the macrophage maintains a “dump” where it collects all the garbage - bacteria, viruses and damaged cells. But a macrophage can also be a harmful cell in many respects. A situation may arise in which macrophages begin to attack healthy tissue, such as the brain or heart. This is a pathological process that provokes a severe imbalance of the immune system. Macrophages have a “specialized” cell in their composition, it is called lipoxygenase and carries out the synthesis of pro-inflammatory cytokines and prostaglandins. Some of them can provoke an asthma attack, increased blood pressure, abdominal pain and even allergic reactions and headaches, resulting in redness of the skin or other tissues. There are quite a lot of diseases that can be caused by ill-fated macrophages. For example, lupus. The disease also provokes an inflammatory process, but in the connective tissue system. So, the causes of such diseases are obvious. As practice shows, the more often we encounter stressful situations, the greater the likelihood of developing pathological processes in the skin. The same goes for weather conditions. Some people experience itching and redness due to changes in weather, while others develop a rash all over their body. Without examination, it is very difficult to establish the cause of the disease, but this is the most important stage of successful therapy. Therefore, you cannot do without qualified help from a specialist if you are affected by any allergy. In addition, often even intervention in the body with drugs is not possible without additional clinical tests. The more time you spend identifying the pathogen, the easier it is to choose an antihistamine. However, we should not forget about the positive aspects of the macrophage. Thus, thanks to this cellular element, the growth and differentiation of dendritic bodies occurs, which supports the immune system in the body.
