Publisher Summary This chapter discusses autoimmune endocrine disease. Many different definitions of autoimmune disease exist. From a pathophysiological point of view, autoimmune disease represents altered physiology as a direct result of antibodies or lymphocytes reacting with self antigens.

A considerable proportion of the thyroid diseases is due to aberrant immune reactions toward thyroid antigens. Autoreactivity is considered to be a normal process controlled by several suppressor mechanisms. Malfunction of these suppressor mechanisms may result in autoimmune disease.

Under the term "autoimmune diseases" are comprised a large number of disorders with variable clinical expression which have in common an autoimmune pathogenesis as defined by direct, indirect or circumstantial evidence. Autoimmune diseases may affect a single organ or may determine a multisystem involvement, and most of them cause significant and ...

Current Opinion in Immunology, 2002
The immune system can attack almost any given organ in a very specific and directed fashion. The endocrine system appears to be particularly vulnerable to this kind of insult. Which endocrine organs are most susceptible and why? Genetic studies and animal models have revealed some commonalities for these diseases.

The endocrine system is interested by several autoimmune diseases, characterized by different impact and severity, according to the organs involved. Autoimmune thyroid disorders (i.e. Hashimoto's thyroiditis and Graves' disease) and type 1 diabetes mellitus are the most common autoimmune endocrine disorders, while hypophysitis, adrenalitis (90% of ...

Autoimmune thyroid diseases (AITDs) include a wide spectrum of thyroid diseases affecting more commonly women than men. The most frequent forms are Graves' Disease (GD) and Hashimoto's thyroiditis / Autoimmune Thyroiditis (AIT), but there are also other immunogenic destructive forms of thyroiditis, that is, silent and postpartum thyroiditis.

Interesting clinical and basic studies have been published in the field of autoimmune thyroiditis (represented by Graves' disease and Hashimoto's thyroiditis) since January 2005. The review is organized into four main areas: genetics, environment, adaptive immune system, and innate immune system.The quest continues for the identification of ...

Endocrine cells may become targets for autoimmune processes resulting in cellular dysfunction and diseases which cause considerable morbidity. The thyroid follicular cells, the parietal cells of the gastric mucosa, the insulin-producing islet cells and the adrenal cortical cells are most often affected.

• The diagnosis of autoimmune hepatitis is based on specific immunological, histological and biochemical characteristics after exclusion of other causes of liver disease including viral hepatitis. • Hepatitis E virus infection should be considered in the differential diagnosis of autoimmune hepatitis. • Prednisone, prednisolone, or budesonide are first

Patients with polymyositis (PM), dermatomyositis (DM), and immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy (IMNM) present with the subacute onset of symmetric proximal muscle weakness, elevated muscle enzymes, myopathic findings on electromyography, and autoantibodies. DM patients are distinguished by their cutaneous manifestations.
