Pathological Condition

**Pathological condition (pathological status)** is a painful condition that is characterized by dysfunction of organs and systems, changes in metabolism and disruption of the body’s adaptive mechanisms. This problem is based on negative biochemical, morphological, physiological and psycho-emotional reactions, which can have varying degrees of severity. Thus, this phenomenon is complex, which requires a systematic approach to its study and treatment.

The types of pathological conditions differ in the nature of symptoms, stages of progression, and dynamics of the disease. An example of a pathological condition is hypertension, accompanied by increased blood pressure, weakness, fatigue, and headache. Other pathological conditions include anemia (decreased amount of hemoglobin in the blood), cachexia (extreme exhaustion of the body), allergies, and diabetes. These disorders manifest themselves in varying degrees of severity, which determines the treatment tactics and prognosis of the disease. Pathological conditions, as a rule, occur in a chronic form, requiring long-term treatment and constant monitoring. The most common causes of pathological conditions are cardiovascular diseases (coronary heart disease, arterial hypertension, heart rhythm and conduction disorders), malignant neoplasms, diabetes mellitus, metabolic disorders (obesity), etc.

Pathological conditions are a pressing topic for discussion and study, as they cause illness and disability, require specialized treatment, and prevention to prevent exacerbations and relapses. Treatment of the pathological condition consists of normalizing metabolism, eliminating the causes that caused its occurrence, normalizing blood circulation and the nervous system, reducing the level of stress hormones and the action of adsorbents and antioxidants. Prevention of pathological conditions also includes a healthy lifestyle, monitoring the state of the gastrointestinal tract, immune system, correcting the level of physical activity, restoring sleep and wakefulness, proper nutrition, treatment of existing diseases to prevent the development of pathological processes.
