Autoimmune Polyglandular Syndrome Type 2

Autoimmune Polyglandular Syndrome Type 2 (APST2) is a condition where the immune system mistakenly attacks multiple glands in the body, leading to hormonal imbalances. It often involves the thyroid, adrenal glands, and pancreas, causing issues like diabetes, thyroid dysfunction, and adrenal insufficiency. Symptoms can include fatigue, weight changes, and low blood pressure. This syndrome can also occur alongside other autoimmune diseases. Treatment focuses on managing the symptoms and hormone replacements needed due to gland dysfunction. Early diagnosis and ongoing medical care are essential for maintaining health and quality of life.
