C-reactive protein (CRP) is produced by the liver. The level of CRP rises when there is inflammation throughout the body. It is one of a group of proteins called "acute phase reactants" that go up in response to inflammation.

Celiac disease is a medical condition in which the absorptive surface of the small intestine is damaged by a substance called gluten. This results in an inability of the body to absorb nutrients: protein, fat, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals, which are necessary for good health. The disease can develop at any point in life, from infancy to late adulthood. People who have a family member with celiac disease are at greater risk of developing the disease. The disorder is most common in Caucasians and persons of European ancestry. Women are affected more often than men.

Crohn disease is a disease where parts of the digestive tract become inflamed. Crohn’s most commonly affects the end of the small bowel (the ileum) and the beginning of the colon, but it may affect any part of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, from the mouth to the anus. Ulcerative colitis is limited to the colon, also called the large intestine. Men and Women are equally likely to be affected, and while the disease can occur at any age, Crohn's is more prevalent among adolescents and young adults between the ages of 15 and 35.

Graves disease is an autoimmune disorder that leads to an overactive thyroid gland (hyperthyroidism). Graves’ disease is named for the doctor who first described it in Ireland—Robert J. Graves. He noticed it in a patient in 1835. The disease is also referred to as Basedow’s disease—named after a German, Karl Adolph van Basedow, who described the disease in 1840. He didn’t know that Graves had described the same disease just a few years earlier. The term Basedow’s disease is more commonly used in continental Europe; in the United States, it’s called Graves’ disease.
Graves’ disease is a type of autoimmune problem that causes the thyroid gland to produce too much thyroid hormone which is called hyperthyroidism. Graves’ disease is often the underlying cause of hyperthyroidism.

Anemia is a condition in which the body does not have enough healthy red blood cells. Red blood cells provide oxygen to body tissues. Normally, red blood cells last for about 120 days in the body. In hemolytic anemia, red blood cells in the blood are destroyed earlier than normal.

Multiple sclerosis affects the brain and spinal cord. The immune system attacks the protective sheath (myelin) that covers nerve fibers and causes communication problems between your brain and the rest of your body. Eventually, the disease can cause the nerves themselves to deteriorate or become permanently damaged. Multiple sclerosis isn’t hereditary, but having a parent or sibling with the multiple sclerosis raises your risk slightly. Genetics may play a role. Scientists have identified some genes that seem to increase susceptibility to developing the multiple sclerosis. Researchers think there could be an environmental trigger such as a virus or toxin that sets off the immune system attack. It’s almost impossible to predict how the multiple sclerosis will progress in any one person. The disease generally progresses faster in men than in women. It may also progress faster in those who receive a diagnosis after age 40 and in those who have a high relapse rate.

Myasthenia Gravis (MG) means "grave muscular weakness." The most common form of MG is a chronic autoimmune neuromuscular disorder that is characterized by fluctuating weakness of the voluntary muscle groups. The prevalence of MG in the United States is estimated to be about 20/100 000 population. However, MG is probably under diagnosed and the prevalence may be higher. Myasthenia Gravis occurs in all races, both genders, and at any age. MG is not thought to be directly inherited nor is it contagious. It does occasionally occur in more than one member of the same family.

Psoriasis is a very common autoimmune diseas. It is a skin condition that causes skin redness and irritation. Most people with psoriasis have thick, red skin with flaky, silver-white patches called scales. Anyone can develop it, but it most often begins between ages 15 to 35. Psoriasis isn't contagious. This means it doesn't spread to other people. Psoriasis seems to be passed down through families. Health care providers think it may be an autoimmune condition.

Rheumatoid arthritis is a long-term disease. It leads to inflammation of the joints and surrounding tissues. It can also affect other organs. RA can occur at any age, but is more common in middle age. Women get RA more often than men. Infection, genes, and hormone changes may be linked to the disease. Smoking may also be linked to RA. It is much less common than osteoarthritis, which is a condition that occurs in many people due to wear and tear on the joints as they age. There is no known prevention. Smoking cigarettes appears to worsen RA, so it is important to avoid tobacco. Proper early treatment can help prevent further joint damage.

Sarcoidosis is a disease in which inflammation occurs in the lymph nodes, lungs, liver, eyes, skin, or other tissues.This disease most commonly influences the lungs. The disease is more common in African Americans and Caucasians of Scandinavian heritage. More women than men have the disease. The disease often begins between ages 20 and 40. Sarcoidosis is rare in young children.

Sjögren syndrome is an autoimmune disease in which the glands that produce tears and saliva are eliminated. This causes dry mouth and eyes. The condition may affect other parts of the body, including the kidneys and lungs. The syndrome occurs most often in women ages 40 to 50. It is rare in children.

In this disease, the body's immune system mistakenly attacks healthy tissue. It can affect the skin, joints, kidneys, brain, and other organs. SLE is more common in women than men. It may occur at any age. However, it appears most often in people between the ages of 15 and 44. The disease affects African Americans and Asians more often than people from other races.
Systemic lupus erythematosus
May affect large areas of skin and organs such as the heart, lungs, or kidneys. There are two main types: limited disease (CREST syndrome) and diffuse disease.

A complete blood count (CBC) can help diagnose e. g. the anemia and offer some hints to the type and cause of the problem. Important parts of the CBC include red blood cell count, hemoglobin and hematocrit.

Uveitis is caused by inflammatory response inside the eye. Inflammation is the body's natural response to tissue damage. It produces swelling, redness and heat. Uveitis may be caused by an attack from the body's own immune system (autoimmunity), infections or tumours occurring within the eye or in other parts of the body or by injury to the eye. Uveitis is swelling and irritation of the uvea, the middle layer of the eye. The uvea provides most of the blood supply to the retina. It is most common in young and middle-aged people. Uveitis has no standard treatment regimen. Usually, the initial course of management is a stepwise approach starting with cycloplegics and corticosteroid drops to control pain and reduce inflammation. Progression to immunosuppressive agents may be necessary after consideration of the baseline etiology; however, this progression would be initiated by a primary care physician in consultation with an ophthalmologist after including physician and patient factors, which are beyond the scope of this review.
