Autoimmune Diseases

Conditions where the immune system mistakenly attacks the body's own tissues.

In simple language

Autoimmune diseases are a broad family of conditions where the immune system becomes misdirected and starts attacking part of the body. Symptoms vary widely depending on which tissues are involved.

Because these conditions are diverse, treatment needs to stay tied to the specific diagnosis, organ systems involved, and medication plan.
