Autoimmune disease: These are a group of disorders in which the immune system doesn't work properly due to various genetic & environmental reasons that starts attacking normal cells, producing various chemicals resulting in unwanted and hazardous effects in patients. The overactive immune system leads to various symptoms that affect day to day life and promote diseases like arthritis, muscular weakness. The immune system can also damage the organ, which has been transplanted to the patient from another person due to having different blood groups/antigens of donor patients organ. The immune system considers it a foreign harmful body, leading to complications after transplanting an organ like a kidney, liver, or heart.
