Abstract

Autoimmunity is a condition characterized by an imbalance in the immune system, where the immune system begins to attack the body’s tissues, leading to inflammation and damage to organs and tissues. Autoimmune diseases do not have a precise cause and are known for their various triggers. Many studies have been conducted to observe the causes of autoimmunity, but due to the wide variety of autoimmune diseases, it is difficult to study all of them. In this review, we will be discussing the different triggers of autoimmune diseases in general.
