👉 The post-fluid, also known as the late-phase inflammatory response, is a phase of the immune system's reaction to an infection or injury that occurs after the initial inflammatory response has subsided. During this stage, immune cells such as lymphocytes and macrophages continue to migrate to the site of injury or infection, but their numbers decrease. The post-fluid is characterized by a more controlled and regulated immune response, with fewer inflammatory mediators like cytokines and chemokines being produced. This phase helps to resolve inflammation, clear any remaining pathogens, and initiate tissue repair, ensuring that the body returns to a stable state. However, if the post-fluid phase is prolonged or dysregulated, it can lead to chronic inflammation and related health issues.
