Also known as hyperemia
Hyperaemia (also hyperemia) is the increase of blood flow to different tissues in the body. It can have medical implications but is also a regulatory response, allowing change in blood supply to different tissues through vasodilation (widening of blood vessels). Clinically, hyperaemia in tissues manifests as erythema (redness of the skin) because of the engorgement of vessels with oxygenated blood. Hyperaemia can also occur due to a fall in atmospheric pressure outside the body. The term comes .

充血（じゅうけつ、hyperemia）とは病気やケガ、手術など、その他様々な要因によって、毛細血管などの末梢の血管が拡張して、そこに動脈性の血液の流入が増加した状態を示す。広義には静脈性の血液が増加した状態を示す鬱血（うっけつ、congestion）も定義に含まれる。その多くが可逆性であり、原因がなくなれば消失する、また一般的に臓器障害は少ないが、頭痛、浮腫、出血を起こすことがある。
