What is a chronic autoimmune disease where the body produces antibodies that stick to the body and own cells causing the body to attack itself is called?
A chronic autoimmune disease where the body produces antibodies that attack its own cells is known as an autoimmune disorder. Examples include rheumatoid Arthritis, lupus, and multiple sclerosis. In these conditions, the immune system mistakenly identifies healthy cells as foreign invaders, leading to inflammation and tissue damage. The exact cause of these diseases can vary and often involves a combination of genetic and environmental factors.

Which chronic autoimmune disease produces serious weakness of the voluntary muscles?
Myasthenia gravis is an autoimmune disease marked by muscle weakness and fatigue. The symptoms are activated when the immune system produces antibodies that interfere with the transmission of nerve signals to skeletal (voluntary) muscle. As a result, the affected muscles cannot contract normally.
Disorder where persons antibodies react persons own normal tissues?
There are so many disease where in our immune system produces antibodies for our own tissues. To name few are Insulin Dependent Diabetes Milletus, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Myesthenia Gravis, Multiple Sclerosis, Goodpastures Syndrome, Graves Disease etc.
What are the causes of idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura?
In adults, ITP is considered an autoimmune disorder, which means that the body produces antibodies that damage some of its own products--in this case, blood platelets. Some adults with chronic ITP also have other immune system disorders.
Causes of elevated ANA?
Elevated antinuclear antibodies (ANA) can indicate various autoimmune diseases, such as lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, or Sjögren's syndrome. It can also be elevated in chronic infections, certain medications, or in individuals with a family history of autoimmune disorders. Further evaluation by a healthcare provider is needed to determine the underlying cause of the elevated ANA levels.
What condition develops when the immune system attacks and destroys the thyroid gland?
Hashimoto's Thyroiditis
What is a autoimmune disorder caused by hyperthyroidism?
Grave's Disease and Hashimoto's thyroiditis are two that I know of. Grave's tends to have a steady stream of hyperthyroid symptoms while in Hashimoto's tyroiditis it might start out hyperthyroid and as the antibodies attack it will eventually dwindle down to hypothyroidism. Somtimes there will be bursts of hyperthyroid behavior as the thryoid gland is destroyed by antibodies in Hashimoto's thryoiditis.
What is a chronic autoimmune disorder that is most often found in the ileum and in the colon?
Crohns disease
What is a chronic autoimmune disorder in which the motor neurons fail to transmit impulses to the muscles to cause muscle contractions?
A chronic autoimmune disease that affects the neuromuscular junction is myasthenia gravis. It leads to fluctuating muscle weakness and fatigue.
What is sjeogren syndrome?
Sjogren's syndrome is an autoimmune disease that causes chronic dry mouth and eyes.
What is a chronic systemic disease that is believed to be an autominnune condition affecting the connective tissue of the body?
Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic systemic disease that is believed to be an autoimmune condition affecting the connective tissue of the body. It primarily affects the joints, causing inflammation, pain, and stiffness. Over time, it can lead to joint damage and deformity.
What type of immune response is always disadvantageous to a person?
An autoimmune response is always disadvantageous to a person, as it involves the immune system attacking the body's own healthy cells and tissues. This can lead to chronic inflammation, tissue damage, and various autoimmune diseases.
Is hypothyroidism connected to lupus?
Lupus is a chronic, inflammatory, autoimmune disease that can affect any part of the body including the thyroid. People who have one autoimmune disease usually have other autoimmune diseases in overlap. It is possible for lupus to affect the thyroid, but autoimmune thyroid disease like Hashimoto's thyroiditis could be responsible.
