[The initial stage of disease]

A I Strukov, A V Smol'iannikov, D S Sarkisov

    Arkhiv Patologii
    |January 1, 1980
    PubMed
    Summary

    Early disease diagnosis is crucial. Many illnesses manifest clinically only after significant morphological changes, masking the initial damage to regulatory systems that preserve homeostasis.

    Area of Science:

    • Pathology
    • Physiology
    • Medicine

    Context:

    • Clinical manifestation of disease often lags behind initial pathological processes.
    • Compensatory-adaptive reactions maintain homeostasis, delaying clinical symptoms.
    • Morphological changes are evident only after a prolonged, often latent, disease period.

    Purpose:

    • To highlight the discrepancy between the onset of disease and its clinical detection.
    • To emphasize the role of compensatory mechanisms in disease latency.
    • To underscore the importance of identifying the "latent" period for early diagnosis.

    Summary:

    • Disease initiation often involves damage to regulatory systems, preceding clinical and morphological signs.
    • Hypertension, mammary cancer, and stomach diseases exemplify conditions where initial damage occurs in systems distant from the affected organ.
    • All diseases possess a material substrate at molecular to systemic levels; "functional diseases" do not exist.

    Impact:

    • Recognizing the initial disease period is vital for timely and effective medical intervention.
    • Understanding the latent phase can lead to novel diagnostic strategies.
    • This perspective reframes disease etiology, focusing on primary regulatory system damage.
