NURS 231: Pathophysiology 2022
Module 3 Exam
Question 1
pts
Short answer
Explain the challenges of diagnosing autoimmune disorders.
Your Answer:
Diagnosing is made by history, physical, and serological findings. Since some blood tests are more
generic, results can be imprecise. Markers can be elevated in the presence of other diseases.Criteria for
diagnosis: Evidence of an autoimmune reaction, immunological findings are not second to other
conditions, and no other causes are found.
There are over 80 identified, many with overlapping presentations. Many manifestations are
nonspecific and are seen in other non-autoimmune diseases. Blood testing isn’t perfect either, as
some tests are more generic and can be elevated in the presence of other diseases.
