What is chronic inflammation?

Chronic inflammation refers to long-term inflammation and can last for several months or even years. It can result from:

1. Failure to eliminate whatever was causing an acute inflammation
2. An autoimmune disorder that attacks normal healthy tissue, mistaking it for a pathogen that causes disease
3. Exposure to irritants, such as an chemicals & toxins over a prolonged period

Examples of diseases and conditions that include chronic inflammation:

● asthma

● chronic peptic ulcer

● tuberculosis

● rheumatoid arthritis

● periodontitis

● ulcerative colitis
