Q: Chronic inflammation?
i know chronic inflammation causes an increase in lymphocytes but does it cause a decrease in neutrophils? neutrophils used in acute inflammation
A: Well, it's not going to make your body loose neutrophils, but it will make the number decline relative to the initial acute inflammation.
Just about any infection is going to start with the acute phase, with lots of neutrophils and monocytes entering the area and producing lots of inflammatory molecules. However, if the infection is not cleared, it progresses to the chronic stage in which neutrophils are no longer involved. Instead you have just monocytes/macrophages and T cells involved in the process of containing the pathogen. Neutrophils numbers would be high in the acute phase, but as the infection progresses to chronic, neutrophil numbers would reach their normal level.

Q: Chronic inflammation of body tissues, is this a disease?
If a person has chronic inflammation of different parts of their bodies, is this a disease that can be treated? I know arthritis is inflammation of joints, but this is soft tissue, like ears, bowel, organs, throat, etc. Also, if this is a syndrome or disease, what is the treatment? Is it hereditary?
A: The immune system can attack just about any part of the body and cause inflammation. Examples of medical ailments that do this besides rheumatoid arthritis are lupus, fibromyalgia, and sarcoidosis. Lupus is one that is capable of affecting a wide array of different tissues. The cause of autoimmune diseases are generally not known. There seems to be at least some genetic pre-disposition for autoimmune disorders, but they are definitely not inherited as a single trait, such as eye color. Since the cause of autoimmune disorders are not known, there is no treatmetn other than symptomatic relief using analgesics, anti inflammatory drugs, or immunosuppressants.
Q: chronic inflammation?
A: Inflammation means swelling of the blood vessels. This is also referred to as congestion. This may be due to inflammatory mediators which are numerous. They include microbial toxins, drug interactions, allergy, smoking, exposure to environmental changes and a lot more.
Now, chronic means "persistent" just as a matter of speaking. It stays for a very long time. Perhaps a life time. It is the opposite of acute, where the pain or the symptom is abrupt and sudden and leaves after it has taken its time.
However, you need to be more specific on what you mean with chronic inflammation because it is a very generalized term.

Examples of common chronic illnesses are diabetes, arthritis, congestive heart failure, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and stroke. Chronic conditions are typically caused by multiple factors. Your family history may put you at greater risk. Your behavior and environment may increase your chances of developing a chronic condition. Some chronic diseases will never go away. However, you can live almost symptom free and have a good quality of life by making behavior changes and using the health care system wisely.
