Lupus: Causes, symptoms, and research Lupus is an autoimmune disease, caused by problems in the body's immune system. It can be mild or life threatening. Lupus is not contagious. The type that we refer to simply as lupus is known as systemic lupus erythematosus or SLE. Other types of lupus include discoid (cutaneous), drug-induced, and neonatal.

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia Most people are diagnosed without symptoms as the result of a routine blood test that shows a high white blood cell count. Less commonly, CLL may present with enlarged lymph nodes without a high white blood cell count or no evidence of the disease in the blood. This is referred to as small lymphocytic lymphoma.

Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia, Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma, and Monoclonal B-Cell Lymphocytosis Overview. Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL)/small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) represents a relatively common indolent B-cell lymphoma that may present as a leukemia (CLL) or as lymphadenopathy without significant lymphocytosis (SLL).bstract. Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL), and monoclonal B-cell lymphocytosis (MBL) are clonal proliferations of small, mature B cells. CLL and SLL are considered neoplastic, although they are indolent and many patients with these lymphomas never require treatment.

Inherited predisposition to chronic lymphocytic leukemia Abstract. Inherited susceptibility to chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) has been recognized for decades. Approximately 10% of individuals with CLL report a family history of CLL or a related lymphoproliferative disorder, and genetic predisposition is the best understood risk factor for CLL.bstract.

Autoimmune Diseases Autoimmune diseases are characterized by the body's immune responses being directed against its own tissues, causing prolonged inflammation and subsequent tissue destruction.uch diseases include, but are not limited to, celiac disease, Crohn's disease, pancreatitis, systemic lupus erythematosus, Sjogren's syndrome, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, and other endocrinopathies. Allergies and multiple sclerosis are also the result of disordered immune functioning. Life Extension Suggestions.

- 1 The immune system protects the body from foreign substances and infection.  But in an autoimmune disease like lupus, the immune system attacks the body.SLE is characterized by auto-antibodies, meaning that the antibodies attack the “self”. SLE is unpredictable, varying in how it affects every person. It cannot be cured but controlled.

Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is a cancer that affects a type of white blood cell called a lymphocyte.. Lymphocytes help your body fight infection. They're made in the soft center of your bones, called the marrow.If you have CLL, your body makes an abnormally high number of lymphocytes that aren't working right.cute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is a type of blood cancer. Also known as acute lymphocytic leukemia or acute lymphoid leukemia, it is the least common type of leukemia in adults.

Autoimmunity The RBCs carry oxygen to the body’s tissues. Oxygen is necessary for the body’s tissues to perform their function. Anemia is the term used to describe a low number of RBCs. Autoantibodies against the RBCs can cause destruction of these cells and is called autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA). Symptoms associated with AIHA include fatigue, headache, dizziness, fainting and poor exercise tolerance. The person sometimes looks pale.

Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia Leukemia is cancer of the white blood cells. White blood cells help your body fight infection. Your blood cells form in your bone marrow. In leukemia, the bone marrow produces abnormal white blood cells. These cells crowd out the healthy blood cells, making it hard for blood to do its work. In chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), there are too many lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell. CLL is the second most common type of leukemia in adults. It often occurs during or after middle age, and is rare in children. Usually CLL does not cause any symptoms.

Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia/Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma CLL and SLL are essentially the same disease, the only difference being where the cancer primarily occurs. When most of the cancer cells are located in the bloodstream and the bone marrow, the disease is referred to as CLL, although the lymph nodes and spleen are often involved. When the cancer cells are located mostly in the lymph nodes, the disease is called SLL. Many patients with CLL/SLL do not have any obvious symptoms of the disease. Their doctors might detect the disease during routine blood tests and/or a physical examination.

- Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) represents the prototype of the autoimmune disorders because of its abundance of genetic alterations and clinical manifestations (8–11). Moreover, SLE is associated with a vast array of autoantibodies whose production appears to be a part of a generalized immune hyper-reactivity (10).

What Are Autoimmune Disorders? 1 People with lupus develop autoimmune antibodies that can attach to tissues throughout the body. 2  The joints, lungs, blood cells, nerves, and kidneys are commonly affected in lupus. 3  Treatment often requires daily oral prednisone, a steroid that reduces immune system function. 4  Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).

Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia What is chronic lymphocytic leukemia? Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is cancer in your blood and bone marrow. Lymphocytes are a type of white blood cell (WBC) that prevent and fight infections. Your bone marrow makes damaged lymphocytes and your body has trouble fighting infections. It may prevent your bone marrow from making other blood cells and cause bleeding or infections.
