Is Crohns disease a medical disorder?

Yes, Crohn's disease is a medical disorder. Crohn's disease is an autoimmune disease. Autoimmunity is an inflammatory condition that results when the body's normal defenses (our immune system) gets confused and begins to attack normal, healthy tissue and organs instead of viruses, bacteria and cancer cells. This can cause symptoms such as pain, nausea, and diarrhea.


How is Crohn's Disease formed. How do the people in the world get it. What is cause by?

The cause of Crohn's disease is unknown. No infectious agent (virus, bacteria, or fungi) has been identified as the etiologic agent. Still, some researchers have theorized that some type of infection may have originally been responsible for triggering the immune system, resulting in the continuing and out-of-control cycle of inflammation that occurs in Crohn's disease. Other evidence for a disorder of the immune system includes the high incidence of other immune disorders that may occur along with Crohn's disease.

What is a disorder caused by hyperthyroidism?

Hyperthyroidism is a symptom, not a disease. The symptom is a result of a disease or disorder which may cause other related symptoms, not the other way around. The symptom of hyperthyroidism may cause additional symptoms such as tachycardia, however it does not cause another disorder. When the hyperthyroid symptoms are treated, the additional symptoms typically disappear.


Can hypothyroidism cause SlE?

No lupus is a separate autoimmune disorder. When a patient has an autoimmune disease, the immune system cannot tell the difference between harmful substances and healthy ones. The result is an overactive immune response that attacks otherwise healthy cells and tissue. This leads to chronic inflammation. Patients who have one autoimmune disorder may also have others, like Hashimoto's Thyroiditis.
