[b][UNITED STATES, 12/26/2017][/b] — More than a million Americans struggle with chronic fatigue. Given that this baffling medical condition is difficult to figure out,it has led some people to the false notion that the condition is a psychological issue and not a real disease. A study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, however, found proof that chronic fatigue is an actual inflammatory disease.

[b]Chronic Fatigue in the Blood[/b]

Dr. Jose Montoya, along with his research colleagues, collected blood samples from 192 patients with chronic fatigue and 392 subjects without the condition. They discovered major differences in the levels of cytokine between patients with and without the condition. Cytokines are cell-signaling proteins that assist in cell-to-cell communication in immune responses.

A more in-depth bloodwork profile revealed that 17 cytokines correlate with the severity of chronic fatigue.Researchers found that, of the 17 cytokines, 13 are pro-inflammatory, indicating that inflammation drives the medical condition.

Given the differences between the blood of those without and with chronic fatigue, researchers remarked that their findings could pave the way for a diagnostic blood test. Moreover, it could lead to the development of future treatments.
