Transition cows diseases and Inflammation - Cause or Effect? Although strong links have been established between inflammatory markers and periparturient diseases, the interpretation of such associative data is difficult. It is possible that inflammation contributes to the etiology of some common early-lactation disorders, but it is also possible that undiagnosed subclinical conditions cause an increase in inflammatory mediators before disease diagnosis (Bradford et al., 2015)
