systemic disease

A systemic disease is a condition that affects the entire body or multiple organ systems, rather than just one specific part. These diseases often involve widespread inflammation, immune system problems, or genetic factors that impact overall health. Examples include diabetes, which affects blood sugar regulation, and lupus, which can damage skin, joints, and organs. Systemic diseases can develop gradually and may require comprehensive treatment approaches because their effects are not limited to a single location. Recognizing their broad impact helps in effective diagnosis and management to maintain overall well-being.
