An autoimmune disorder is when your immune system accidentally attacks healthy cells and tissues instead of protecting them from harmful invaders like bacteria and viruses. Some common autoimmune disorders include rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, multiple sclerosis, and type 1 diabetes.
Of course, the symptoms will vary depending on the condition.
But they tend to include digestive issues, persistent fatigue, weakness in muscles, recurrent infections, pain or swelling in joints, and unexplained skin rashes.

An autoimmune screening consists of a series of blood tests, however, only one blood sample is required. The process is usually quick, relatively painless, and takes only a few minutes to complete.
Your results may take a few days to a week. If abnormal markers are found, further tests or referrals may be necessary. However, your doctor will discuss everything you need to know with you.
