A member asked:

Does having 1 autoimmune disorder predispose u2 others? mom with hoshimoto's>psoriatic arthritis>viral hepatitis>acute myeloid leukemia.

Dr. John Chiu answered

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.
