Auto-Immune Diseases |
Back |
An immune dysregulation occurs when the body's immune system starts producing antibodies against its own tissues. It often results from chronic allergic reactions that weaken the immune system. Any part of the body may be involved. The most common organs involved are thyroid (Hashimoto's thyroiditis), ovaries, testes, pancreas, and parietal cells of the stomach. It results in failure of tissue functions. Other common autoimmune diseases include Rheumatoid Arthritis, Lupus, Sjogren’s syndrome and Scleroderma.
