Boss Skool Awareness
The exact cause of autoimmune disorders is unknown. One theory is that some microorganisms (such as bacteria or viruses), stress, or drugs may trigger changes that confuse the immune system. This may happen more often in people who have genes that make them more prone to autoimmune disorders.
An autoimmune disorder may result in:
The destruction of body tissue
Abnormal growth of an organ
Changes in organ function
An autoimmune disorder may affect one or more organ or tissue types. Areas often affected by autoimmune disorders include:
Blood vessels
Connective tissues
Endocrine glands such as the thyroid or pancreas
Joints
Muscles
Red blood cells
Skin
A person may have more than one autoimmune disorder at the same time. Common autoimmune disorders include:
Addison disease
Celiac disease - sprue (gluten-sensitive enteropathy)
Dermatomyositis
Graves disease
Hashimoto thyroiditis
Multiple sclerosis
Myasthenia gravis
Pernicious anemia
Reactive arthritis
Rheumatoid arthritis
