The causes of tissue dysfunction are diverse and can be intrinsic or extrinsic. Some common causes include:
Genetic mutations: Defects in genes can lead to inherited disorders that affect tissue function. Infectious agents: Bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites can invade tissues and disrupt their normal function. Autoimmune diseases: The immune system mistakenly targets and damages the body's own tissues. Environmental factors: Exposure to toxins, radiation, or chronic stress can impair tissue function. Nutritional deficiencies: Lack of essential nutrients can lead to tissue atrophy and other dysfunctions.
