long-term immune response causing tissue damage and disease

Chronic inflammation, also known as persistent inflammation, is a prolonged and often harmful immune response that can last for months or even years. Unlike acute inflammation, which is a short-term response to injury or infection, chronic inflammation can result from ongoing exposure to irritants, autoimmune disorders, or unresolved acute inflammation. This persistent state can lead to tissue damage and is associated with various diseases, including arthritis, cardiovascular disease, and certain types of alopecia.
