Serving you since Feb. 2005
Diagnosing autoimmune diseases was previously only available in specialized hospitals and laboratories abroad.
​
Due to the lack of specialized diagnostic facilities in Afghanistan, many autoimmune diseases are overlooked or misdiagnosed.
The DK-German Medical Center is proud to offer innovative test systems and high-quality products from HUMAN Diagnostic for a reliable diagnosis of autoimmune diseases.
​
The tests are produced by a team of highly specialized and dedicated scientists at the HUMAN Competence Center for Research and Development in Magdeburg / Germany.
We are happy to announce the diagnostic availability of some major autoimmune disorders like:
-
Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE)
-
Rheumatoid Arthritis
-
Celiac Disease
-
Morbus Crohn
-
Pernicious Anemia
-
Graves’ Disease
-
Hashimoto’s Disease
-
Sjören’s Syndrome (SLE)
-
CREST Syndrome / Skleroderma
-
Myositis
An autoimmune disease is a condition in which your immune system mistakenly attacks your own body cells.
​
The immune system normally guards against germs like bacteria & viruses. When it senses these foreign invaders, it sends out an army of fighter cells to attack them.
​
In an autoimmune disease, the immune system mistakes part of your body, like your joints or skin, as foreign. It releases auto-antibodies that attack healthy cells.
There are more than 100 types of autoimmune diseases known.
​
Some autoimmune diseases target only one organ. Type 1 diabetes damages the pancreas. Other diseases, like systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), affect the whole body.
​
Examples of autoimmune diseases include systemic lupus erythematosus, Sjogren syndrome, Hashimoto thyroiditis, rheumatoid arthritis, juvenile (type 1) diabetes, polymyositis, scleroderma, pernicious anaemia, glomerulonephritis, and pulmonary fibrosis.
