Organic Dinosaur on Twitter explained it best, as she translates and such as she gets more information.

Naruto's illness is akin to an autoimmune diorder; Basically Naruto's body is becoming allergic to Kurama's chakra and as a result, his chakra pathway system is slowly closing itself in an attempt to stop the effects.

Search for " OrganicDinosaur on Twitter: "To clarify the immunology " in google and the first link you see with those same words is the post that explains it thus far.
