Extractions: Automatic, systematic Auto-immune disorders are thought to be at the root of many diseases and conditions. Jean Rothwell FRPharms, secretary of the South Lancashire LPC, investigates OBJECTIVES Auto-immune diseases are caused by a malfunction of the immune system. While our bodies normally recognise a harmful 'foreign invader' and produce antibodies to fight it, in an auto-immune disease the body is unable to distinguish between foreign invaders and the body's own tissue. The result is the production of antibodies which fight the body's own tissue as well as the foreign invader. The body produces a small number of self-hostile lymphocytes which would normally be 'policed' and destroyed by other lymphocytes. However, the process may be disrupted by various triggers, allowing the numbers of self-hostile lymphocytes to increase. It is thought that almost any virus, certain bacteria such as streptococci, or drugs (such as methyldopa) may play a part in triggering an auto-immune process in someone who already has a genetic pre-disposition.

Antibodies Definition Return to top Autoimmune disorders are conditions caused by an immune response against the body's own tissues. Causes, incidence, and risk factors Return to top The immune system protects the body from potentially harmful substances (antigens) such as microorganisms, toxins cancer cells, and foreign blood or tissues from another person or species. Antigens are destroyed by the immune response, which includes production of antibodies (molecules that attach to the antigen and make it more susceptible to destruction) and sensitized lymphocytes (specialized white blood cells that recognize and destroy particular antigens). Immune system disorders occur when the immune response is inappropriate, excessive, or lacking. Autoimmune disorders develop when the immune system destroys normal body tissues. This is caused by a hypersensitivity reaction similar to allergies , where the immune system reacts to a substance that it normally would ignore. In allergies, the immune system reacts to an external substance that would normally be harmless. With autoimmune disorders, the immune system reacts to normal "self" body tissues.

Autoimmune Disorders Relatives of patients with autoimmune disorders, 525% Many diseases, includingautoimmune disorders, are associated with these disease states. http://www.thedoctorsdoctor.com/diseases/autoimmune_disorders.htm
Extractions: Background An autoimmune disease is perhaps one of the cruelest of all diseases. The body's normal immune system loses its ability to recognize its own cells and attacks itself. The result is a devastating disease process which spares no organ. This group of diseases is sometimes referred to as collagen vascular diseases because the soft tissue supporting tissues and blood vessels are frequently attacked. Anti-CCP Vasculitis It should be noted that this list is not complete and indeed, there are many diseases found in other body sites which are also autoimmune in nature. A good example is pemphigus vulgaris, a devastating blistering disease of the skin and mucous membranes. Vasculitis, or inflammation of the blood vessels, is also frequently autoimmune. These latter diseases are found in the skin rash and blood vessel pages. Anti-nuclear antibodies are directed against nuclear antigens. They are one of the hallmarks of an autoimmune disease. They can be broadly grouped into four categories. 1. Antibodies to DNA

Extractions: Over US$225,000 has been donated since the drive began on 19 August. Thank you for your generosity! (Redirected from Autoimmune disorder Autoimmune diseases arise from an overactive immune response of the body against substances and tissues normally present in the body. In other words, the body attacks its own cells. Today there are more than 40 human diseases classified as either definite or probable autoimmune diseases and they affect 5-7% of the population. Almost all autoimmune diseases appear without warning or apparent cause and most patients suffer from fatigue. The causes of autoimmune diseases are still obscure: some are thought to be either examples of, or precipitated by, diseases of affluence . For example, arthritis and obesity are acknowledged to be related, and the World Health Organisation states that arthritis is most common in developed countries. Most autoimmune diseases are probably the result of multiple circumstances: for example, a genetic predisposition triggered by an infection. Women tend to be affected more often by autoimmune disorders, nearly 79% of autoimmune disease patients in the USA are women
