Autoimmunetaudeissa
Autoimmunetaudeissa, which translates to autoimmune diseases, are a group of conditions where the body's immune system mistakenly attacks its own healthy tissues. Normally, the immune system differentiates between foreign invaders like bacteria and viruses, and the body's own cells. In autoimmune diseases, this distinction breaks down, leading to an immune response directed against self-antigens. The exact triggers for this misdirection are not fully understood but are believed to involve a complex interplay of genetic predisposition and environmental factors.
The symptoms of autoimmune diseases are highly variable and depend on which specific tissues or organs are
Diagnosis often involves a combination of medical history, physical examination, blood tests to detect specific autoantibodies
