Lymphatic Diseases
Lymphatic diseases are a group of conditions that affect the body’s lymphatic system, which is part of the immune system. The lymphatic system is responsible for transporting immune cells and fluids around the body to fight infections and other diseases. This system can become dysfunctional when affected by disease, leading to the development of swollen lymph nodes, excess fluid in the tissues, and even organ dysfunction. Lymphatic diseases can range from mild to life-threatening, including conditions such as lymphedema, Hodgkin’s lymphoma, and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Treatment for these conditions may involve medications, lifestyle changes, and/or surgery. Early diagnosis and proper management of these conditions is essential for a positive outcome and improved quality of life for those affected.
