eiimmuunivälitteinen

eiimmuunivälitteinen is an Estonian term that translates to "non-immune mediated" in English. It is used in medical and scientific contexts to describe conditions, reactions, or processes that do not involve the body's immune system.

In pharmacology, "eiimmuunivälitteinen" often refers to drug side effects that are not caused by an allergic or immunological response. These can include common side effects like nausea, dizziness, or fatigue, which are directly related to the drug's mechanism of action or its interaction with the body's physiological systems, rather than an immune system overreaction.

Similarly, in pathology, certain diseases or symptoms might be described as eiimmuunivälitteinen if they arise from genetic mutations, structural abnormalities, or direct toxic effects, without any contribution from immune cells or antibodies. Understanding whether a condition is immune-mediated or not is crucial for accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment planning, as treatments for immune-mediated conditions often involve immunosuppressants, which would be ineffective or even harmful for non-immune mediated issues. The distinction helps in differentiating between different causes of disease and guiding therapeutic strategies.
