Inflammatory Disorders

There are a few different types of inflammatory disorders.  Basically, any disorder that causes chronic inflammation is an inflammatory disorder.  Inflammation is a process in which the body’s white blood cells and chemical defenses protect against infection from foreign substances.  In inflammatory disorders, however, the immune system triggers an inflammatory response without foreign substances present. The body responds as if normal tissues are infected, which causes damage. Some of the defensive chemicals cause a leak of fluid into the tissues, resulting in swelling. This protective process may stimulate nerves and cause pain.     

Some, but not all, types of arthritis can be considered inflammatory disorders.  Arthritis is a general term that involves inflammation in the joints. Some types of arthritis associated with inflammation include:  rheumatoid arthritis, shoulder tendinitis or bursitis, gouty arthritis, amd polymyalgia rheumatica. 

There are other inflammatory disorders that involve the internal organs.  Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a group of inflammatory disorders that occur in the digestive tract. The main symptoms are abdominal pain, rectal bleeding, and diarrhea or constipation.  Fever and loss of appetite may also occur.  Some cases involve complications develop outside the intestines including problems with the eyes, liver, blood, and bones. Ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease are the most common types of inflammatory disorders occurring in the digestive tract.
