Autoimmune diseases (click for worldwide facilities list): Autoimmune diseases are disorders in which the body's immune system reacts against some of its own tissue and produces antibodies to attack itself.
Autoimmune disorders are classified into two types:
- organ-specific (directed mainly at one organ)
- non-organ-specific (widely spread throughout the body).
The immune system is a network of organs, cells and molecules that work together to defend the body against attacks by foreign invaders such as germs, bacteria, viruses, parasites and fungi.
In general terms, when antibodies are directed against the body's own cells, or when B and T cells attack and destroy their own body's cells and not foreign antigens, an autoimmune disorder can result.
Examples of organ-specific autoimmune disorders are :
insulin-dependent diabetes (Type I) which affects the pancreas, Hashimoto's thyroiditis and Graves' disease which affects the thyroid gland, pernicious anemia which affects the stomach, Addison's disease which affects the adrenal glands, and chronic active hepatitis which affects the liver.
Examples of non-organ-specific autoimmune disorders are:
rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, lupus and myasthenia gravis.
