Potential Hazards of Chronic Inflammation to Human Health
TOTAL VIEWS: 196
Abstract
Objective: To investigate the potential hazards of chronic inflammation to human health. Methods: A total of 186 patients with chronic inflammation admitted to our hospital from January 2022 to June 2025 were enrolled. Inflammatory marker levels and the incidence of organ-system injury were analyzed, and differences in organ damage were compared among patients with different inflammatory burdens and disease durations. Results: The high-level hs-CRP subgroup showed significantly higher detection rates of cardiovascular abnormalities, impaired glucose metabolism, fatty liver, cognitive decline, and combined multisystem involvement than the low-level hs-CRP subgroup (P<0.05). With increasing disease duration, the proportion of patients with single-system involvement gradually decreased, whereas the proportion with involvement of three or more systems increased stepwise (P<0.05). Conclusion: Chronic inflammation may cause extensive damage to the cardiovascular, metabolic, hepatic, and nervous systems. Higher inflammatory activity and longer persistence are associated with broader and more severe organ involvement.
