In pathology, pathogenesis is the process by which a disease or disorder develops. It can include factors which contribute not only to the onset of the disease or disorder, but also to its progression and maintenance. (2026). 9781441913807, Springer. ISBN 9781441913807 The word comes .
Most diseases are caused by multiple processes. For example, certain arise from dysfunction of the immune system (skin and lymphoma after a renal transplant, which requires immunosuppression), Streptococcus pneumoniae is spread through contact with respiratory , such as saliva, mucus, or cough droplets from an infected person and colonizes the upper respiratory tract and begins to multiply.
The pathogenic mechanisms of a disease (or condition) are set in motion by the underlying causes, which if controlled would allow the disease to be prevented. Often, a potential cause is identified by epidemiology observations before a pathology link can be drawn between the cause and the disease. The pathological perspective can be directly integrated into an epidemiological approach in the interdisciplinary field of molecular pathological epidemiology. Molecular pathological epidemiology can help to assess pathogenesis and causality by means of linking a potential risk factor to molecular pathologic signatures of a disease. Thus, the molecular pathological epidemiology paradigm can advance the area of causal inference.
If the pathogenesis of a condition is not known, it is considered to be an idiopathic disease.
