Autoimmune disorders occur when the immune system mistakenly attacks the body's own cells, tissues, or organs, leading to chronic inflammation and tissue damage. These disorders can affect almost any part of the body and often require lifelong management to control symptoms and prevent complications.

Autoimmune Disorders

Autoimmune disorders

The immune system is a complex network of cells, tissues, and organs that work together to defend the body against harmful pathogens and maintain overall health. It involves both innate and adaptive responses, which recognize and neutralize foreign invaders while also retaining memory for faster future responses.

Chronic inflammation is a prolonged and persistent inflammatory response that can last for months or years, potentially leading to tissue damage and contributing to various diseases such as arthritis, cardiovascular diseases, and cancer. It often results from persistent infections, autoimmune disorders, or long-term exposure to irritants, and is characterized by the continuous activation of immune responses and the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines.

Tissue damage refers to the disruption of normal structure and function of biological tissues, often resulting from physical injury, infection, or disease. It triggers a complex repair process involving inflammation, cellular proliferation, and tissue remodeling to restore integrity and function.
