Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is a chronic disease in which the body’s immune system attacks the liver, causing inflammation (hepatitis).

Autoimmune inner ear disease (AIED) is a rare autoimmune disorder in which the immune system mistakenly attacks the cells in the inner ear, leading to progressive hearing loss, tinnitus (ringing in the ears), and balance problems.

Autoimmune myocarditis is a rare and serious condition in which the immune system attacks the heart muscle, causing inflammation and leading to heart damage. Learn about the symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment options to manage autoimmune myocarditis and prevent complications.

Amyloidosis is a rare, serious condition characterised by the abnormal buildup of a protein called amyloid in tissues and organs throughout the body. When amyloid proteins accumulate, they interfere with the normal function of organs, which can lead to life-threatening complications.

Autoimmune angioedema is a rare condition where the immune system mistakenly attacks the body’s tissues, leading to sudden swelling (angioedema) in areas like the face, lips, throat, and extremities.

Autoimmune dysautonomia is a rare condition in which the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks the autonomic nervous system (ANS), the part of the nervous system that controls involuntary body functions such as heart rate, blood pressure, digestion, and temperature regulation.

Autoimmune oophoritis is a rare autoimmune condition where the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks the ovaries, leading to inflammation, damage to ovarian tissue, and disruption of normal ovarian function.

Autoimmune orchitis is a rare autoimmune disorder where the body’s immune system mistakenly targets the testicles, causing inflammation and damage to testicular tissue.

Autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) is a rare type of chronic pancreatitis caused by the immune system mistakenly attacking the pancreas, leading to inflammation and damage to pancreatic tissue.

Autoimmune Pulmonary Alveolar Proteinosis (aPAP) is a rare lung disorder where the immune system mistakenly attacks a protein called granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), impairing the ability of the lungs to clear out a substance called surfactant.

Autoimmune Retinopathy (AIR) is a rare eye disorder where the immune system mistakenly targets and attacks the retina, the light-sensitive tissue located at the back of the eye that is crucial for vision.

Autoimmune Urticaria is a form of chronic hives (urticaria) caused by the immune system attacking the body’s own tissues, leading to persistent, itchy welts on the skin.

Axonal and Neural Neuropathy (AMAN) is a rare subtype of Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS), a condition in which the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks the peripheral nervous system.

Anxiety is a natural response to stress, characterised by feelings of worry, fear, or nervousness. While everyone experiences anxiety from time to time, chronic anxiety can become overwhelming and interfere with daily life.

Augmented Reality (AR) is a technology that overlays digital content—such as images, videos, sounds, or 3D objects—onto the real world in real time.

Balo Disease, also known as Balo concentric sclerosis, is a rare and severe form of multiple sclerosis (MS).
