A member asked:
Does having 1 autoimmune disorder predispose u2 others? mom with hoshimoto's>psoriatic arthritis>viral hepatitis>acute myeloid leukemia.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: The presence of an autoimmune disorder points to dysregulation of the immune system and thus one is far more likely to have other autoimmune diseases . However, it is not directly linked to viral hepatitis or AML.
