Genetic2
- An individual's risk for this type of disease is a combination of genetic susceptibility and some other exposure, like environmental. (thehealthy.com)

Tissues4
- Which autoimmune condition ultimately manifests itself is determined by which tissues are being attacked. (westonaprice.org)
- An autoimmune disease is a condition where your immune system mistakes healthy tissues of your body for foreign cells and releases proteins, called autoantibodies, that destroy your cells. (coem.com)
- When tissues are under autoimmune attack, they may get inflamed and cause redness, pain, swelling, and a heating effect depending on which part of the body is affected. (coem.com)
- As a result, cancerous cells divide continuously giving rise to mass of tissues called tumours (Table 7.8). (ncertmcq.com)
Lymphadenopathy1
- Treat the Syndrome, Not the Lab Test Dr Jonathan Kay discusses an interesting case of a patient with failure to thrive, thyroiditis, lymphadenopathy, and autoimmune pancreatitis. (medscape.com)
Affects1
- Routine thyroid blood tests do not reveal the presence of autoimmune thyroiditis, which affects the cells' ability to utilize thyroid hormones. (hotzehwc.com)
Iodine-1318
- The HTDS is a scientific study conducted to determine whether there was an increased risk of developing thyroid disease among people exposed to iodine-131 from Hanford. (cdc.gov)
- The findings mean that if there is an increased risk of thyroid disease from exposure to Hanford's iodine-131, it is probably too small to observe using the best epidemiologic methods available. (cdc.gov)
- The HTDS is an epidemiological study conducted to determine whether thyroid disease is increased among people who were exposed as young children to releases of iodine-131 from the Hanford Nuclear Site from 1944 through 1957. (cdc.gov)
- The HTDS was designed to test whether the risk of thyroid disease in a group of people exposed to Hanford's iodine-131 differed in relation to the radiation doses their thyroid glands received. (cdc.gov)
- In other words, no associations between Hanford's iodine-131 and thyroid disease were observed. (cdc.gov)
- The percentages of people with each kind of thyroid disease or with ultrasound abnormalities were about the same regardless of their estimated radiation dose from Hanford's iodine-131. (cdc.gov)
- ATSDR conducted the Hanford Birth Cohort study based on community concerns about autoimmune and cardiovascular disease health effects resulting from exposure to iodine-131. (cdc.gov)
- ATSDR did not find a link between iodine-131 and autoimmune and cardiovascular diseases in either men or women. (cdc.gov)
Parathyroid hormone1
- For completeness sake, I should mention that there is an opposing hormone produced by the parathyroid gland (four little glands that live on the thyroid coincidentally) simply called parathyroid hormone that mobilizes calcium from the bones, so increases calcium in the blood stream when it's needed by destroying bone. (checkbiotech.org)
Condition5
- Because many of these conditions are relatively rare, many -- perhaps most-people with a positive ANA have none of them and have no disease or condition related to this test result. (harvard.edu)
- Research suggests a combination of genetics and an environmental trigger may lead to the development of an autoimmune condition, Dr. Cihakova says. (thehealthy.com)
