Autoimmune Disorders

1.5K
Autoimmune diseases are a group of disorders in which the body's immune system mistakenly attacks its own cells, tissues, and organs. This results from an overactive immune response against substances and tissues normally present in the body. Let's delve into the concept and mechanism of autoimmune diseases from an immune system point of view, explore different causes and examples of such diseases, and discuss potential solutions.

Hypothalamic-Pituitary Axis

65.4K
The response to stress—be it physical or psychological, acute or chronic—involves activation of the Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal (HPA) axis. The HPA axis is part of the neuroendocrine system because it involves both neuronal and hormonal communication. Its function is to regulate homeostatic systems—metabolic, cardiovascular, and immune—providing the necessary means to respond to a stressor.

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) can rarely cause autoimmune hypophysitis (AH), affecting the pituitary gland. This case highlights infertility and central diabetes insipidus as initial symptoms of SLE-associated AH.

Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Rheumatology
  • Immunology

Background:

  • Autoimmune hypophysitis (AH) is a rare pituitary disorder.
  • Association between AH and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is exceptionally uncommon.
