Systemic Inflammation Causes

Meaning

Systemic Inflammation Causes are the various underlying factors and pathological processes that initiate and sustain a low-grade, chronic inflammatory response throughout the entire body, rather than being localized to a specific injury site. Key causes include chronic visceral adiposity, which secretes pro-inflammatory adipokines, persistent gut dysbiosis leading to endotoxin leakage, and chronic psychological stress elevating inflammatory mediators like C-reactive protein. This sustained systemic inflammation is a major driver of chronic diseases and hormonal dysfunction, including insulin resistance and hypogonadism. Identifying and addressing these root causes is crucial for clinical intervention.
