Rheumatoid arthritis is an auto immune disease that involves the inflammation and destruction of joint tissue. it is also responsible for inflammation and destruction of other parts of the body. These include the skin , brain, Eyes, vascular system and many other organs.
There are several autoimmune conditions that can involve the thyroid gland. The most common are Graves' disease and Hashimoto's thyroiditis.
The treatment of RA is done with anti-inflammatory or disease modifying drugs when RA is active esr as a result of the inflammation goes up Ra is a Autoimmune disease. High uric acid on the other hand is a disease that is the result of too much uric acid which is the result of the body's metabolising purines which come from the nucleus of living cells. I would say that if a patient is suffering from gout and RA at the same time the treatment would involve a low purine diet, disease modifying drugs such as methotrexate and anti-inflammatory. the anti-inflammatory will help both the inflammation from the gout and from the RA. you should do this through a doctor as the blood needs to be tested for toxicity
Goodpasture syndrome is a rare disease that involves rapidly progressive kidney failure along with lung disease. some forms of this disease can involve just the lung or kidney but not both. This is an autoimmune disorder where the immune system mistakenly attacks the body and destroys healthy body tissue.
There are many different diseases which result from problems with the immune system; broadly speaking, there are two types, which involve either an excessive immune response, causing an autoimmune disease such as multiple sclerosis, or an insufficient immune response, causing a disease such as AIDS. There are also many different reasons why the immune system may not work correctly. However, the greatest single threat to the functioning of the immune system is the human immunodeficiency virus, HIV.
Only Females can get this and one way to prevent it is not to have sexual intercorse too often.
Lupus is an autoimmune disease. The patient's immune system cannot differentiate between pathogens and healthy parts of the self. There are four types of lupus: discoid or cutaneous, systemic lupus erythematosus, neonatal lupus, and drug induced lupus. The cause of lupus is not fully understood. There is no cure. Lupus affects 5 million people worldwide.
The difference between rheumatic fever and rheumatoid arthritis is that rheumatic fever affects the kidneys and heart and is typically caused by strep throat. Rheumatoid arthritis is arthritis.
Type IV
Autoimmune diseases arise from an overactive immune response of the body against substances and tissues normally present in the body. In other words, the body actually attacks its own cells. The immune system mistakes some part of the body as a pathogen and attacks it. In otherwords, our own body's ceels can not recognise a liitle changesells of the same type. This may be restricted to certain organs (e.g. in chagas disease) or involve a particular tissue in different places (e.g. Goodpasture's disease which may affect the basement membrane in both the lung and the kidney).
Acute nephritis is the sudden inflammation of the kidneys, often caused by an infection or autoimmune response. Common symptoms include blood in the urine, swelling in the legs or face, and high blood pressure. Treatment may involve medications to reduce inflammation and manage symptoms.
Emphysema
It doesn't need to involve the brain.
