Immuno-inflammatory mechanisms of age-associated transformation of the bladder

Introduction. Despite the absence of a generally accepted theory explaining the mechanisms of aging, existing scientific data indicate a close relationship between aging and chronic low-grade inflammation (low-grade inflammation). This theory of inflammatory aging (inflame-aging) suggests that aging is accompanied by the development of a chronic inflammatory phenotype, which ultimately leads to fibroplastic transformation of tissues, which manifests itself in a functional deficiency of organs and, in particular, the bladder.
