Common Autoimmune Diseases

Autoimmune diseases arise when the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy cells and tissues, resulting in a wide range of symptoms and complications. The human immune system is a remarkable network of cells and molecules that work tirelessly to defend our bodies against harmful invaders. However, in some cases, this complex defense mechanism can malfunction, leading to autoimmune diseases.

There are over 80 known autoimmune diseases, and they can affect virtually any part of the body.
