🧠 What Are Autoimmune Diseases?
An autoimmune disease happens when the body’s immune system starts attacking its own healthy cells and tissues. Normally, the immune system protects us from bacteria, viruses, and other harmful invaders. But in autoimmune disorders, it gets confused and starts attacking the body itself.
🔍 Why Does It Happen?
The exact reason why autoimmune diseases happen is not fully known. But some possible causes include:
Genetics (family history)
Environmental triggers (pollution, viruses)
Hormonal changes
Long-term stress
Infections
Unhealthy diet

There are more than 80 types of autoimmune diseases. Some of the most common ones include:
- Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA)
The immune system attacks the joints.
Causes pain, swelling, stiffness, and sometimes joint deformity.
- Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE or Lupus)
Affects multiple body parts like skin, joints, kidneys, and brain.
Causes fatigue, joint pain, rashes, and organ damage.
- Nephrotic Syndrome
A kidney-related condition where protein leaks in urine.
Leads to swelling, especially in legs and eyes.

The immune system attacks the liver.
Leads to liver inflammation, tiredness, and jaundice.
