Autoimmune diseases are diseases in which the immune system mistakenly attacks the body in which it is located. The function of the immune system is extremely important because it protects against bacteria, parasites, viruses and cancerous mutations. Unfortunately, there are also situations in which the mentioned system can turn against the person himself. There is no clear reason why this happens, which is why autoimmune diseases are very often the subject of many studies today, and there are over a hundred known autoimmune diseases that are mostly accompanied by certain mutations and changes in antibody states. Depending on how the immunity turns against the person, autoimmune diseases develop that attack tissues or organs. This is precisely why the number and character of symptoms can be very colorful and diverse, which significantly complicates the diagnostic process even for skilled specialists.
