Rise of Autoimmune Diseases in Expectant Mothers
Recent research from the University of Birmingham reveals a significant increase in autoimmune conditions among pregnant women since the turn of the millennium. This groundbreaking study, the first of its kind, examined a wide spectrum of autoimmune diseases that predominantly impact women. Previous studies have indicated a general rise in autoimmune disorders, making these findings […]
Key Symptoms of Autoimmune Diseases
Autoimmune diseases can present with a variety of symptoms, and experiencing at least four of them may indicate a specific autoimmune condition. If diagnosed with an autoimmune disease, regular visits to a healthcare provider are crucial for monitoring symptoms, predicting and preventing flares, and adjusting treatment plans as needed. These visits also allow for early […]
Autoimmunity and Pathogenesis: A Complex Interplay
The immune system’s protective role can backfire with autoimmunity, where it mistakenly attacks the body’s own cells. This phenomenon, known as autoimmunity, leads to a spectrum of diseases ranging from life-threatening organ failure to subtle shifts in biomarker expression without immediate symptoms. Understanding the interplay between autoimmunity and pathogenesis is crucial for developing effective treatments […]
