Resolution

From WikiMD's medical encyclopedia

Resolution (medicine) is a term used in medicine to describe the subsiding or termination of an abnormal condition, such as a disease or inflammation. It is one of the possible outcomes of a pathological condition.

Definition

In the context of medicine, resolution refers to the process of a disease or pathological condition coming to an end. This can occur naturally, as in the case of a common cold or flu, or it can be the result of medical intervention, such as the use of antibiotics to treat a bacterial infection.

Process

The process of resolution can vary greatly depending on the specific disease or condition. In some cases, resolution may occur rapidly, while in others it may take a significant amount of time. The process may also be complete, with the patient returning to their pre-disease state, or it may be partial, with some residual symptoms or damage remaining.

Factors affecting resolution

Several factors can affect the process of resolution, including the patient's overall health, the nature of the disease or condition, the effectiveness of any treatment received, and the patient's ability to adhere to recommended treatment protocols.
