Diseases

Immunoglobulin deficiency refers to a medical condition in which the body’s immune system lacks adequate immunoglobulins (antibodies) to fight infections effectively. These antibodies are critical for immune defense, and their absence or reduction increases vulnerability to recurrent infections and other immune-related issues.

Immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN), also known as Berger’s disease, is a kidney disorder characterized by the accumulation of Immunoglobulin A (IgA) deposits in the glomeruli. These deposits lead to inflammation, impairing the kidneys’ ability to filter waste and excess fluid efficiently. Causes of Immunoglobulin A Nephropathy The exact cause of IgAN remains unclear, but researchers

IgE-mediated food allergy is an immune system response triggered by immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies when the body perceives certain foods as harmful. This type of allergic reaction is rapid in onset and can result in severe symptoms. Causes of IgE-Mediated Food Allergy The primary cause is the immune system’s overreaction to specific proteins in foods.

Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP) is an autoimmune disorder characterized by an abnormally low platelet count, leading to excessive bruising, bleeding, and other complications. This condition is also known as immune thrombocytopenia. Causes of Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura The exact cause of ITP is not always clear, but it is linked to immune system dysfunction. In ITP:

Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic, progressive lung disease characterized by scarring (fibrosis) of lung tissue. This scarring leads to a decline in lung function, making it increasingly difficult to breathe. IPF typically affects older adults and has no known cure, though treatments can manage symptoms and slow disease progression. Causes and Risk Factors

Idiopathic Parkinsonism is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by motor and non-motor symptoms. Unlike secondary parkinsonism, its cause is unknown, making diagnosis and treatment challenging. Causes of Idiopathic Parkinsonism While the exact cause remains unclear, research suggests that genetic and environmental factors contribute to idiopathic parkinsonism. Key risk factors include: Symptoms of Idiopathic Parkinsonism Symptoms typically
