Autoimmune Disorders
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Autoimmune disorders are conditions in which the immune system, responsible for defending the body, mistakenly reacts against its own tissues. There are many different forms, and they can affect one or several organs of the body.
Common symptoms: Although they vary according to the condition, they may include fatigue, joint pain or inflammation, skin changes, and general discomfort that appears recurrently.
Common causes: Genetic and environmental factors are usually involved, leading the immune system to respond inappropriately.
Which specialist treats them? The immunologist and the internist are frequent references in their study; the allergist, the nephrologist, and the general practitioner may be involved depending on the organs affected, and psychological support helps in coping with the impact of the condition. If you have persistent symptoms without a clear explanation, it is worth discussing them with a professional for a proper evaluation.
