| Overview: The American Autoimmune Related
Diseases Association is national organization dedicated to the eradication of
autoimmune diseases and the alleviation of suffering and the socioeconomic
impact of autoimmunity through research, education, public awareness, and
patient services in an effective, ethical, and efficient manner. Approximately 50 million Americans suffer from over 100 autoimmune diseases, and 75 percent of those affected are women. Autoimmunity is the result of a misdirected immune system which mistakenly
attacks one's own body, causing diseases such as lupus, scleroderma, Graves'
disease, ITP, autoimmune hepatitis, rheumatoid arthritis, juvenile diabetes,
autoimmune thyroid disease, and Crohn's disease. |
