The actual induction event(s) for autoimmune states are largely unknown. Some autoimmune diseases attack specific organs, whereas others are more systemic. Organ-specific autoimmune diseases include celiac disease, Graves disease, Hashimoto thyroiditis, type I diabetes mellitus, and Addison disease.

Each condition shows unique immune responses, such as myasthenia gravis causing muscle weakness from autoantibodies and rheumatoid arthritis leading to joint inflammation. Psoriasis results in rapid skin cell turnover, and SLE presents diverse symptoms due to immune damage.
