Inflammatory processes in the body are one of the most common and important problems faced by people of all ages. They can be caused by a variety of reasons, including infections, allergies and injuries. The most common infectious inflammatory process is alterative inflammation.
Alternate or recurrent inflammation is a type of inflammation that occurs when hormone levels change, which can occur as a result of stress, fatigue, or environmental changes. In this case, inflammation is a protective reaction of the body, and in this article we will look at how to reduce the intensity of this type of inflammation.
To begin with, it is important to understand why alterative inflammatory processes occur. There are several factors that can contribute to the appearance of this type of inflammation:
* Lack of sleep. Lack of sleep can lead to changes in the level of the hormone cortisol, which in turn leads to alterative inflammation. Short and insufficient sleep can disrupt the hormonal balance in the body, leading to inflammation and pain in the joints.
The article describes the concept of “alterative inflammation”. Inflammation is a protective-adaptive reaction of the body aimed at eliminating the pathological agent. Alterative inflammation is also called inflammation associated with changes in the structure of damaged tissues. Thus, the question arises what is the nature of alterative inflammation.
The definition of alterative processes is found both in ancient (Hippocrates, Galen) and modern authors, including practicing therapists. However, there is still no precise definition of alteration either in the literature or in everyday practice. Academic historians of medicine who adhere to an evolutionary biological approach tend to consider alterative processes as a stage in the development of inflammation. In their opinion, alteration goes through three stages: latent, hyperemia and necrosis. At the latent stage, initial swelling of the tissue occurs, and the lumen of the blood vessels narrows. Two forms of alteration can develop here. Necrosis most often occurs due to general toxicosis. Hyperalteration develops as a result of local exposure to a pathogenic factor. For al
