What happens in your body when you have chronic GVHD?


Chronic GVHD CAUSES YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM TO BECOME UNBALANCED. In people with chronic GVHD, the immune system overreacts, creating too many of some cells and molecules, and not enough of others. This leads to inflammation (swelling) and fibrosis (hardening, scarring).

INFLAMMATION

is swelling that occurs because your body is trying to protect itself.

Inflammation that goes on for a long time, like in chronic GVHD, may cause damage to your body.

is the growth of scar tissue that hardens and keeps your organs from working properly.

In some people, fibrosis happens when inflammation goes on for a long time. It is also possible for scar tissue to form without any inflammation.

People with chronic GVHD face many challenges.
