    The xanthogranulomatous process (XP), is a form of acute and chronic inflammation characterized by an exuberant clustering of foamy macrophages among other inflammatory cells. Localization in the kidney and renal pelvis has been the most frequent and better known occurrence followed by that in the gallbladder but many others have been ...

  6. Foreign-body giant cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreign-body_giant_cell

    The inflammatory process that creates these cells often leads to a foreign body granuloma. The human body goes through several steps when exposed to foreign biomaterial including acute and chronic inflammation, and formation of new tissue and a fibrous capsule along the surface of the implantation.

  7. Systemic inflammation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Systemic_inflammation

    Chronic systemic inflammation (SI) is the result of release of pro-inflammatory cytokines from immune-related cells and the chronic activation of the innate immune system.It can contribute to the development or progression of certain conditions such as cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes mellitus, chronic kidney disease, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, autoimmune and neurodegenerative ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IgG4-related_disease

    IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD), formerly known as IgG4-related systemic disease, is a chronic inflammatory condition characterized by tissue infiltration with lymphocytes and IgG4-secreting plasma cells, various degrees of fibrosis (scarring) and a usually prompt response to oral steroids.
