Type of disease
Degenerative disease is the result of a continuous process based on degenerative cell changes, affecting
tissues or
organs , which will increasingly deteriorate over time.
[1]
In neurodegenerative diseases , cells of the central nervous system stop working or die via
neurodegeneration . An example of this is
Alzheimer's disease .
[2] The other two common groups of degenerative diseases are those that affect
circulatory system (e.g.
coronary artery disease ) and
neoplastic diseases (e.g.
cancers ).
[1]
Many degenerative diseases exist and some are related to
aging . Normal bodily wear or lifestyle choices (such as
exercise or eating habits) may worsen degenerative diseases, but this depends on the disease.
[1] Sometimes the main or partial cause behind such diseases is
genetic .
[3] Thus some are clearly
hereditary like
Huntington's disease .
[4] Sometimes the cause is
viruses , poisons or other chemicals. The cause may also be unknown.
[3]
Some degenerative diseases can be cured. In those that can not, it may be possible to
alleviate the symptoms .
