'''Ailments''' are [[health]] conditions that cannot be treated completely using medicine alone. For physical damage, see [[injury]]. For treatable conditions, see [[disease]].

"MTB" stands for "Mean Time Between", and is how it's presented in the game files.

Some conditions can give rise to other conditions; the risk of this happening will diminish if the condition is treated.

Most permanent ailments are curable with body part replacements or usage of the [[healer mech serum]].

== Chronic ==
Ailments that come with age. Either non-fatal, or progresses extremely slowly towards fatality compared to infectious diseases.

=== Alzheimer's ===
A brain disease usually associated with aging. Alzheimer's disease causes progressive degradation in the ability to think and remember. Patients are known to forget close relatives and sometimes wander around in confusion.

Alzheimer's progresses by 0.003 per day, meaning that it will take 333.33 days for it to reach full severity from when it first appears.

=== Asthma ===
A chronic health condition where inflammation causes the airways to narrow, restricting the flow of oxygen to the lungs. Unlike other chronic diseases, asthma can be contracted at almost any age, meaning it's not terribly uncommon to have an asthmatic person some time down the line.

When not treated, it progresses by a rate of 0.25 per day, meaning it will take 2 days to reach full severity (50%).

Good treatment will reduce the rate of progression by up to 0.8, meaning it will regress by 0.55 a day; it can be returned to its initial severity, but cannot be cured completely.

Asthma's severity will fluctuate depending on the quality of treatment received, with a treatment quality of 32% beginning to regress the stages of asthma (the higher, the better).

|}

Treatment:
* The severity of asthma can be reduced with treatment, which can be given every 420,000 ticks (around 7 days). One treatment applies to both lungs.
* Asthma can be cured by replacing the lung with a non-diseased one.

A human pawn can first get asthma at any age.

=== Carcinoma ===
A carcinoma (or cancer) is where mutated cells uncontrollably divide to form tumours, which then 'crowd out' normal bodily cells and hinder bodily function in that area. Carcinomas can be surgically removed (requires a surgeon with at least 10 medicine skill), or healthy parts can be transplanted in some cases. Ordinary treatment (which can be performed by anybody) will prolong the development of a carcinoma or speed up remission, with better treatment being more effective. Installed [[nuclear stomach]]s {{RoyaltyIcon}} create a carcinoma on the torso with an MTB of 120 days.

A carcinoma typically starts out at 30% severity. There is a 30% chance that a carcinoma won't cause any pain whatsoever.

A cancer has 3 stages; growing, stable and remission.
* When growing, it progresses by 0.003 per day, multiplied by a factor of 0.45 - 1.65.
* When stable, it neither grows nor regresses on its own. 
* When in remission, it regresses by 0.002 per day, multiplied by a factor of 0.7 - 1.5.

Good treatment can slow progression by 0.0027 per day, meaning that the carcinoma will grow slower when in growing stage, regress slowly when stable (or for very slow-growing carcinomas), and regress quickly when in remission.

=== Artery blockage ===
A blockage in one of the critical arteries in the [[heart]]. Heart artery blockages randomly induce [[#Heart attack|heart attacks]]. Artery blockages can be treated by replacing the heart with a [[heart|natural]], [[prosthetic heart|prosthetic]] or [[bionic heart|bionic]] replacement, with a [[healer mech serum]], with [[luciferium]], or with the use of [[biosculpter pod]]'s bioregeneration cycle{{IdeologyIcon}}.

Artery blockages progress by a base of 0.0007 per day, multiplied by a random factor between 0.5 - 3.
This means that artery blockages can take anywhere from 7.9 to 47.6 in-game years from onset to become fatal on its own.

Artery blockages can be treated by replacing the heart.

== Acute ==
Some ailments arise as a result of an acute lack of food or exposure to extreme temperatures. These ailments can only be treated by addressing the underlying cause (e.g. providing food or moving to more comfortable temperatures).

=== Malnutrition ===
When a pawn's [[Eating|food]] meter reaches 0%, they will begin to suffer from [[malnutrition]], shown on the health tab. When a colonist is starving they will prioritize eating over other activities, including firefighting and doctoring.

<!-- The duration of the different symptoms are approximate -->
<!-- The exact limits are 0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, and 0.8 severity, with severity increasing by 0.17 per day -->

=== Blood loss ===
A reduction in the normal blood volume. Minor blood loss has relatively mild effects, but when blood loss becomes severe, oxygen transport becomes badly impaired and the victim loses the ability to move. Extreme blood loss leads to death.

Blood loss occurs when a pawn has untreated bleeding [[#Injury|wounds]]. Bleeding wounds are identified on the health tab by a blood icon and a tooltip shows the bleeding rate. Total blood loss is listed under whole body and its tooltip shows the total blood loss. Overall bleeding rate is shown at the bottom.

Once all bleeding wounds are healed the pawn will start recovering from blood loss. It takes up to 4 days to fully recover.

=== Heatstroke ===
Heat stroke occurs when a pawn has prolonged exposure to [[temperature]]s 10°C above their [[maximum comfortable temperature]].

Note that it is possible for a pawn to have both heatstroke and hypothermia at the same time if time is spent in both extreme heat and cold. Their severities are unrelated. 

<!-- Data from Verse/HediffGiver_Heat.cs !-->
The rate of severity growth depends on how much the ambient temperature exceeds the pawn's maximum safe temperature. The specific algorithm is:
# Take the amount by which the ambient temperature exceeds the pawn's maximum safe temperature (which is the [[maximum comfortable temperature]] +10°C).
# Pass the amount through the curve shown below to obtain the effective temperature excess. Note that for amounts from 0 to 25 °C, this doesn't result in a change.
# Multiply the excess by <code>6.45e-5</code> to obtain the severity growth this interval (60 ticks, 1 second).
# If the growth is less than <code>0.000375</code>, set it to that number. This limits the minimum amount the severity can increase by for temperatures differentials of less than 5.814°C.

=== Hypothermia ===
Hypothermia occurs when a pawn has prolonged exposure to [[temperature]]s 10°C below their [[minimum comfortable temperature]]. [[Insectoids]] don't experience hypothermia, but instead get [[hypothermic slowdown]].

Note that it is possible for a pawn to have both heatstroke and hypothermia at the same time if time is spent in both extreme heat and cold. Their severities are unrelated. 

<!-- Data from Verse/HediffGiver_Hypothermia.cs !-->
The rate of severity growth depends on the difference below the pawn's minimum safe temperature and the ambient temperature. The specific algorithm is:
# Take the amount by which the pawn's minimum safe temperature (which is the [[minimum comfortable temperature]] -10°C) exceeds the ambient temperature.
# Multiply the excess by <code>6.45e-5</code> to obtain the severity growth this interval. Note that unlike hyperthermia, hypothermia calculations don't use a postprocessing curve.
# If the growth is above <code>0.00075</code>, cap it to that number.

As a result, temperatures more than '''11.63 °C''' below the minimum safe temperature all have the same severity growth.

=== Hypothermic slowdown ===
{{quote|A special biological state used by some creatures to survive extreme cold. Instead of trying to stay warm, the creature's body chemistry adapts to prevent internal freezing despite very low temperature. Bodily functions are slowed and capacities are reduced, but the cold does no permanent damage. Some biologists call it a wakeful form of hibernation.}}

[[Insectoids]] avoid hypothermia and experience hypothermic slowdown instead with similar penalties but avoiding death at 100% and no [[frostbite]].

Slowdown value increases many times above 100% with apparently no upper limit. When defrosting insects this total value is used so defrost time is proportional to total time frozen.

== Drug damage ==
These ailments are caused by excess drug use.

== General ==
These ailments appear in gameplay, and usually wear off on their own (except death-causing ones).

=== Cryptosleep sickness ===
After-effects of using a cryptosleep pod. Cryptosleep suspends and replaces many bodily functions in order to prevent aging and death. Upon exiting cryptosleep, the body takes time to restart and rebalance its natural metabolic processes. While this is ongoing, the patient suffers from nausea, dizziness, and a sense of fuzziness in the mind.

Occurs after having been in a [[ship cryptosleep casket]] or a [[cryptosleep casket]] for any amount of time. The colonists in the "[[Scenario system#Crashlanded|Crashlanded]]" scenario have a chance of starting with cryptosleep sickness, as they were in cryptosleep before crashing on the planet.

|}
Treatment:
* Wears off after {{ticks|10000}}

=== Food poisoning ===
Occurs after having eaten a contaminated meal or occasionally from raw food. The chance of contamination for cooked meals is determined by the [[Room stats#Cleanliness|cleanliness of the room]] where it was prepared and cook's [[food poison chance]] stat. 

Raw food has a flat chance of 2% of causing food poisoning. Cooked meals roll two two seperate probabilities to determine if the food is poisonined. The first is the chance to get food poisoning due to a "Filthy Kitchen" as determined by the [[cleanliness]] of the room containing the cooking station in use. See the accompanying graph for specifics. Note that cleanliness above -2 appears prevent this roll from producing poisoned meals. If the cooking station being used is not inside a room, it instead defaults to a 2% chance. 

If the first roll fails to poison the meal, then the a second roll is performed, this time based on the [[food poison chance]] of the pawn, which in turn is controlled entirely by their [[Skills#Cooking|cooking skill]].

=== Toxic buildup ===
Primarily occurs with exposure to [[Events#Toxic fallout|toxic fallout]]. A colonist under a roof is protected from exposure. Prolonged exposure gradually increases the buildup level. Once a colonist returns to a roofed area their buildup severity will gradually decrease. The buildup severity occurs in stages. The later stages cause permanent [[#Dementia|dementia]] which does not wear off even after toxic buildup subsides. When a pawn affected by toxic buildup dies, there is a chance that its corpse will instantly rot - this chance is equal to the severity.

Buildup is proportional to the [[toxic sensitivity]] [[stat]] - thus, [[human]]s buildup at the full rate, [[animal]]s at half, and [[insects]] and [[mechanoids]] are immune. 

Alternatively, some attacks also cause toxic buildup, such as [[cobra]] bites, the [[venom talon]] {{RoyaltyIcon}} or [[venom fangs]] {{RoyaltyIcon}}.

Once no longer exposed, severity reduces by 0.08 per day, meaning that it will take up to 12.5 days to eliminate all toxins accumulated in the body. However, colonists that reach high stages of toxic buildup are likely to develop further complications.

=== Brain shock ===
{{quote|"After-effects of an electrical shock to the brain. This is generally cause by feedback from brain implants hit by EMP pulses."  - '''In-game description'''}}
Occurs when an [[EMP]] effect hits a pawn with the following brain implants:
* [[Learning assistant]] {{RoyaltyIcon}}
* [[Neurocalculator]] {{RoyaltyIcon}}
* [[Circadian assistant]] {{RoyaltyIcon}}
* [[Circadian half-cycler]] {{RoyaltyIcon}}
It lasts between {{ticks|2500}} and {{ticks|3500}}.

Despite only occuring with implants from the [[Royalty DLC]], it is defined in the core code.

=== Psychic shock ===
{{quote|A state of psychic chaos in the brain and mind. Caused by psychic attacks or critical level of neural heat, this effect is debilitating until it wears off.|In-game description}}
Occurs when a pawn is hit by the effect of a [[psychic shock lance]] or when exceeding a pawn's [[Psycasts#Psycasts#Neural heat limit|neural heat limits]] when psycasting {{RoyaltyIcon}}.

It lasts {{ticks|7500}}.

|}

== Surgical ==
These ailments happen with medical operations.

=== Anesthetic ===
Used in surgery to make sure that a pawn is unconscious. It can also be administered outside of operations using a medical bill, consuming medicine.

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Stage !! Begins at !! Symptoms
|-
| '''Anesthetic (sedated)''' || 0–6 hours from onset ||

* Impaired [[moving]] (-5%)
* Impaired [[manipulation]] (-10%)
* Vomiting (''MTB of 4 days'')

|}

Treatment:
* Wears off on its own between {{ticks|45000}} to {{ticks|75000}} even if severity has not reached 0%
** Surgery is unaffected even if it wears off before finished

==== Version history ====
Prior to 1.1 it lasted only {{ticks|15000}} and did not have any other stages afterwards.

== Resurrection ==
These may occur after a dose of [[resurrector mech serum]] is applied on a dead pawn.

=== Resurrection sickness ===
After-effects of being resurrected by mechanite injection. Artificially-kickstarted body processes take time to rebalance themselves.

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Ailment !! Symptoms
|-
| '''Resurrection sickness''' || 
* Loss of [[moving]] (max. 10%)
* Loss of [[manipulation]] (max. 10%)
|}

Treatment:
* Wears off anywhere from {{ticks|90000}} to {{ticks|150000}}

Probability:
* 100% chance of being applied

=== Blindness ===
Mechanites fail to properly repair the eyes, instead causing more damage to it, resulting in blindness.

Blindness from [[resurrector mech serum]] applies to both eyes, resulting in total blindness

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Ailment !! Symptoms
|-
| '''Blindness''' || 
* Complete loss of function (-100% part efficiency)
|}

Treatment:
* Replace eyes with [[bionic eye]]s or [[archotech eye]]s

Probability:
* 2% chance when used at 0.1 days or less of decay
* Linearly increases to 80% after 5 days decayed

=== Resurrection psychosis ===
Chaotic thought patterns caused by the decoherence of resurrection mechanites. Resurrection psychosis progresses and eventually causes total psychosis and death.

The severity of the psychosis increases by 0.01 per day, meaning that it will kill in 100 days. Hopefully this gives you enough time to find a [[healer mech serum]], the only treatment for the disease.

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Stage !! Begins at !! Symptoms
|-
| '''Resurrection psychosis (hidden)''' || ≥0% severity ||
* No visible symptoms, doesn't show up in health tab
* Can still be cured with [[healer mech serum]] at this stage even if it is not visible.
|-
| '''Resurrection psychosis (early)''' || ≥10% severity ||
* Frequent mental breaks (''MTB of 9 days'')
|-
| '''Resurrection psychosis (moderate)''' || ≥25% severity ||
* [[Consciousness]] -10%
* Frequent mental breaks (''MTB of 6 days'')
|-
| '''Resurrection psychosis (advanced)''' || ≥40% severity ||
* [[Consciousness]] -20%
* Frequent mental breaks (''MTB of 3 days'')
|-
| '''Resurrection psychosis (severe)''' || ≥55% severity ||
* [[Consciousness]] -30%
* Extremely frequent mental breaks (''MTB of 0.5 days'')
|-
| '''Resurrection psychosis (total)''' || ≥70% severity ||
* [[Consciousness]] -40%
* Extremely frequent mental breaks (''MTB of 0.25 days'')
|-
| '''Resurrection psychosis (catatonic)''' || ≥85% severity ||
* Pawn becomes unconscious ([[Consciousness]] max. 10%)
|-
| '''Resurrection psychosis (catatonic)''' || 100% severity ||
* Death
|}

Treatments:
* Healer mech serum
* Allowing the pawn to die again, then resurrecting once more (rerolls the disease)

Probability of contracting:
* 2% chance when used at 0.1 days or less of decay
* Linearly increases to 80% after 5 days decayed

== Heart attack ==
Heart attacks can randomly occur on any pawn/animal at any time, but they become more frequent as they pass half of their life expectancy (e.g. 40 years in humans), triggered by the [[Events#Birthday|birthday event]]. There must be more than 2 colonists on your colony for this to occur.

The average interval between heart attacks is curved as follows (in days):
* 0-50% of life expectancy: 99,999,999 - 99,999,999
* 50-60% of life expectancy: 99,999,999 - 2,500
* 60-100% of life expectancy: 2,500 - 300

Examples of intervals and chances:
* 55% of life expectancy (i.e. 44 in humans): 50,001,249.5 days (approx. 0.00000002% per day)
* 80% of life expectancy (i.e. 64 in humans): 1,400 days (approx. 0.000714% per day)

=== Stages ===
{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Stage !! Begins at !! Symptoms
|-
|'''Painful''' || 0% Severity || 
* [[Consciousness]] ×50%
* [[Pain]] +40%
|-
|'''Debilitating''' || 60% Severity || 
* [[Consciousness]] max. 10% (Unconciousness)
* [[Pain]] +60%
|-
|'''Fatal''' || 100% Severity || 
* Death
|}

==== Progression ====
Heart attacks always start at 40% severity. Every {{ticks|5000}} the heart attack severity will randomly change by a value between -40% to +60%. This means that it is possible for a heart attack to treat itself on its own, but usually the heart attack progresses to fatal severity.

==== Treatment ====
Like injuries, medicine can be used to treat a heart attack. 

Doctors treating heart attacks will administer treatments rapidly, consuming medicine in the process. Each treatment has a chance to succeed, reducing the heart attack severity by 30%. Successfully reducing severity below 0 will completely treat the heart attack. 

The maximum chance a particular treatment can succeed is 65%.
