List of Diseases

Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is an autoimmune disorder that is characterised by thrombosis in arteries and veins as well as pregnancy-related/ fetal loss complications and the presence of antiphospholipid antibodies.

Celiac disease is caused by intolerance to gluten, a complex mixture of proteins found in wheat, barley and rye. Once the disease has developed it can only be treated by a lifelong gluten-free diet.

Churg-Strauss syndrome mainly involves the medium to small blood vessels of the lungs but eventually also affects the gastrointestinal tract, heart, skin and kidneys.

The complement system is part of the innate immune system consisting of about 30 proteins. An intact complement system is required for protection against infection and for maintaining the internal inflammatory homeostasis.

Scleroderma is a systemic autoimmune disease primarily affecting the skin but often also involving the gastrointestinal tract, the respiratory, renal, cardiovascular, and the genitourinary systems.

Crohn's disease is a type of Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) - a group of inflammatory conditions of the colon and small intestine.

Goodpasture syndrome is a rare autoimmune disease characterised by lung haemorrhage, rapid destruction of the kidney and the presence of antibodies to glomerular basement membrane (GBM).

Wegener's granulomatosis, or Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA), is an incurable form of vasculitis that affects the nose, lungs, kidneys and other organs.

Graves' disease is a type of Thyroid disease. These are primarily conditions that affect the amount of thyroid hormones being released.

Hashimoto's thyroiditis is a type of Thyroid disease which are primarily conditions that affect the amount of thyroid hormones being released.

Microscopic polyangiitis (MPA) is characterized by pauci-immune, necrotizing, small vessel vasculitis without clinical or pathological evidence of granulomatous inflammation.

Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) are a rare form of tumor that often present a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge.

Paraneoplastic neurologic syndrome (PNS) represents the remote effects of cancer on the nervous system. Such syndromes can affect any part of the nervous system the neuromuscular junction, and muscle. In most patients, the neurological disorder develops before the first sign of a tumor and the patient is referred to the neurologist who has the charge of identifying a neurological disorder as paraneoplastic.

Pertussis, or whooping cough, is a contagious bacterial disease caused by the bacteira Bordetella pertussis.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease characterized by chronic inflammation of the synovial joints, which leads to joint swelling, progressive joint erosion and ultimately lead to cartilage and bone destruction. The disease is often disabling and significantly affects quality of life.

Sjögren's syndrome is a systemic autoimmune disease in which immune cells attack and destroy the exocrine glands that produce tears and saliva.

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), like Sjögren’s syndrome, is a type of autoimmune connective tissue disorder that may have both genetic and environmental causes.

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a type of Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) - a group of inflammatory conditions of the colon and small intestine.
