When the immune system of the body unintentionally targets healthy cells and tissues, an autoimmune disorder can emerge. These illnesses can be mild or life-threatening and impact any body part.

Genetic factors: Since autoimmune disorders commonly run in families, there is probably a genetic factor to consider. Certain autoimmune disorders are more likely to occur when specific genes are present.

Environmental factors: Viruses, bacteria, and other organisms can cause infections that can lead to the onset of autoimmune diseases. According to some research, certain dietary elements may help autoimmune diseases evolve.

Hormonal factors: Because autoimmune diseases affect women more frequently than males, there may be a hormonal factor.Oestrogen and progesterone are two hormones that can impact the immune system and increase the risk of developing autoimmune diseases.
