    Glossary Systemic Inflammation

    widespread inflammatory response affecting the entire body

    Systemic inflammation is a widespread inflammatory response that affects the entire body, rather than being localized to a specific area. It can be triggered by infections, chronic diseases, or autoimmune conditions, leading to symptoms like fever, fatigue, and elevated levels of inflammatory markers in the blood. This type of inflammation is significant because it can contribute to the development of various health issues, including cardiovascular diseases and metabolic disorders.
