    GlossaryInflammation (Inflammatory Process)

    body's natural response to injury or infection

    Inflammation is the body's natural response to injury or infection, characterized by redness, heat, swelling, and pain. It involves the activation of the immune system to eliminate harmful stimuli and initiate healing. While acute inflammation is a protective mechanism, chronic inflammation can lead to various health issues, including autoimmune diseases and tissue damage.
