What Is the Significance of Endomysial Inflammation in Disease Progression?
Endomysial inflammation is a critical marker for disease activity and progression in conditions like dermatomyositis and polymyositis. The degree of inflammation often correlates with clinical symptoms such as muscle weakness and pain. Persistent inflammation can lead to irreversible muscle damage and fibrosis, underscoring the importance of early diagnosis and intervention. Monitoring inflammation through repeat biopsies can provide valuable information about disease progression and response to treatment.
