The answer is: chronic.

Explanation:

  • The term "chronic" is used in medicine to describe conditions that are long-lasting or permanent. Chronic diseases often lead to long-term or permanent damage to tissues or organs. Examples include chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), chronic kidney disease, and chronic heart failure.
  • Other terms like "acute" refer to conditions that are severe and sudden in onset, but not necessarily long-term.
  • "Acute" and "chronic" are often used to differentiate between the duration and progression of a disease. In this context, "chronic" is the appropriate term to describe diseases that cause long-term or permanent damage.
