What Are Autoimmune Disorders? Immune system disorders cause abnormally low activity or over activity of the immune system. In cases of immune system over activity, the body attacks and damages its own tissues (autoimmune diseases). Immune deficiency diseases decrease the body's ability to fight invaders, causing vulnerability to infections. 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.

We May Be Closing in on the Causes of Autoimmune Disease In autoimmune diseases, the immune system attacks healthy tissues, causing chronic inflammation. Figuring out where the signals begin to get crossed and how, is the holy grail of this type of research and the key to treatments or cures.

Autoimmune Disease: Causes, Types, Symptoms, and Treatments Autoimmune disease as stated by Health Line is a disease that develops when the immune system tries to defend the body from its own healthy cells. When this happens it is as if the body is at war with itself. Depending on the type of autoimmune disease it can affect multiple types of body tissue. Certain autoimmune diseases are also known to cause abnormal organ growth and changes in an organ’s function. There are roughly 80 different kinds of autoimmune disease which can make many of them hard to differentiate between.

Autoimmune diseases are among the top 10 causes of death in female children and women in all age groups up to 64 years of age. The National Institutes of Health estimate autoimmune diseases cost an estimated $100 billion a year in medical care. There are approximately 80 different types of autoimmune diseases.

Autoimmune Thyroid Disorders Autoimmune thyroid disorders can cause hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism. Hyperthyroidism is when the thyroid gland makes too much thyroid hormone. Graves disease is the most common kind of autoimmune hyperthyroidism. Hypothyroidism is when the thyroid gland does not make enough thyroid hormone. Hashimoto thyroiditis is the most common kind of autoimmune hypothyroidism.

Paths to understanding the genetic basis of autoimmune disease Genetics of common autoimmune diseases. In contrast to simple diseases, common diseases are believed to result from a combination of susceptibility alleles at multiple loci, environmental factors (such as smoking, pathogen exposure and hormone levels), and stochastic events (Fig. 1b).

Autoimmune Diseases In a few types of autoimmune disease (such as rheumatic fever), a virus or infection with bacteria triggers an immune response and the antibodies or immune cells called T-cells attack normal cells because some part of their structure resembles a part of the infecting microorganism.hose attacks cause inflammation and tissue damage that lead to autoimmune disorders. There are over 80 diseases that occur as a result of autoimmune responses. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) estimates that 23.5 million Americans are affected.

- Autoimmune Disease. Autoimmune disease affects up to 50 million Americans, according to the American Autoimmune Related Diseases Association (AARDA) . An autoimmune disease develops when your immune system, which defends your body against disease, decides your healthy cells are foreign. As a result, your immune system attacks healthy cells. Depending on the type, an autoimmune disease can affect one or many different types of body tissue. It can also cause abnormal organ growth and changes in organ function. There are as many as 80 types of autoimmune diseases.
