gyulladásos

Gyulladásos is a Hungarian adjective meaning inflammatory or inflammation-related. It is formed from the noun gyulladás (inflammation) with the adjectival suffix -os, and it is used to describe processes, tissues, diseases, or responses that involve inflammation.

In medical language, gyulladásos describes conditions in which inflammation is a central feature, for example gyulladásos folyamatok, gyulladásos válasz, or gyulladásos megbetegedések. It can modify nouns such as szövet (gyulladásos szövet), sejt, or folyamat. The term is typically used to indicate that inflammation is part of the pathology or physiology being described. It is distinct from gyulladt, which denotes that something is currently inflamed (for example a gyulladt seb is a wound that is inflamed).

Etymology and related terms: gyulladásos is derived from gyulladás plus the suffix -os. Related medical terms include gyulladáscsökkentő (anti-inflammatory) and gyulladásgátló (inflammatory-suppressing).

Usage notes: gyulladásos is commonly used in clinical and scientific contexts to signal that inflammatory processes are involved. It can describe diseases (gyulladásos betegség), diagnostics (gyulladásos markerek), or tissue states (gyulladásos szövet). The term helps distinguish inflammatory mechanisms from purely degenerative, infectious, or neoplastic processes.
