AUTOANTIBODY PROFILE

Auto-immune disorders are a group of conditions in which the immune system attacks the body's own tissues as if they were a foreign substance.The reaction is similar to those that occur in allergies except the hypersensitivity response is to the body rather than an `outside` substance.

Genetic factors may play a role and women are more frequently affected.

Auto-immune disorders can affect the adrenal glands (Addisons Disease), red blood cells (a type of haemolytic anaemia), pancreas (Diabetes Mellitus type 1), thyroid (Graves Disease), muscle receptors Myaesthenia Gravis), liver (Chronic Hepatitis), sperm and ovary (Auto-immune Infertility) and more.
