Best Answer

Inflammation is when the body is doing some work and the white blood cells are fighting infection or when the body is healing. Gangrene is when tissue begins dying from lack of oxygen; it is untreatable without medical attention and can lead to amputation of limbs. As such it is a far greater danger to the life and health of the person and is more serious.
