Question
For the following autoimmune disorders, identify all the statements which are true:
Select one or more:
a. Diabetes Type I and II are both caused by an immune response attack on pancreatic Beta cells either early or later in life
b. Rheumatoid arthritis is caused by antibodies which attack and inflame body tissues within the synovial joints
c. Particular autoimmune diseases, in general, do not seem to be inherited, but susceptibility for developing autoimmune disorders can often be heritable (runs in families)
d. Crohn's disease is caused by an autoimmune reaction which inflames and destroys the large intestine, leading to chronic pain and malnutrition, and is usually treated with surgery
e. Corticosteroid injections lower inflammation because they stimulate white blood cells and lymphocytes which provide the specific immune response
f. Celiacs can eat gluten freely once they have been properly vaccinated for this disease
g. With Celiac disease, gluten in wheat, barley and rye triggers autoimmune reactions within the small intestine, leading to malnutrition
Explanation / Answer
a) No it is FALSE because diabetes type 1 and type 2 are not immune response.
b) Yes it is TRUE because rheumatoid arthritis is caused by the attack of inflammable body tissues within the sinovial joints.The person who effected with the rheumatoid arthritis will badly experience the joint pains especially in hip joints due to severe swelling which obstructs the free movement of joints.
c) Yes it is TRUE,auto immune disease is not a heriditory disease but there may be chances of getting inherited to the other generations,By taking proper care,it can be completely terminated.So there may be suceptability for developing auto immune disorders for other generations.
d) Yes it is TRUE, because crohn's disease is an inflammation within the intestine especially small intestine and may also destroys the large intestines.The symptoms are belly pain,loss of apetite,fever,diarrehea,weight loss etc.. are the symptoms of this disease.Long lasting of this disease may leads to cancer.So the best thing is surgery and it is the preferreble one.Through endoscopy,CT scan and blood tests,we can diagonise this disease.
e) Yes it is TRUE because the main function of steroid is to decrease the inflammation and gives relief from pain.They stimulate white blood cells and lymphocytes which provide the specific immune response.
g) Yes the celiac disease may leads to the damage of intestine which may doesn't absorb more nutrients.So this may finally leads to the malnutrition and malnutrition may leads to anemia and also leads to weight loss.
