Glossary Etiopathogenesis

study of disease causes and development mechanisms

Etiopathogenesis refers to the study of the causes and development of a disease. It combines "etiology," which is the investigation of the cause or origin of a disease, and "pathogenesis," which describes the biological mechanisms that lead to the diseased state. For example, in the context of alopecia, etiopathogenesis would involve understanding both the genetic and environmental factors that trigger hair loss and the biological processes that result in the thinning or shedding of hair.
