It is caused by failure of the tolerance processes to protect the host from the action of self reactive lymphocytes. An organ-specific autoimmune disease involves gradual damage to cellular structures and is replaced by the compensating connective tissue which depletes the function of the gland/organ.

Acidic vs. Alkaline Introduction: Potential of hydrogen‚ or pH‚ is a scale used to express the acidity or alkalinity of a solution. The scale ranges from 0 to 14‚ below seven represents acidity‚ seven is neutral‚ and more than seven is basic. Acid-base indicators show whether the solution is acidic or alkaline. They do this by reacting with the solution‚ seen as a color change‚ as the concentration of hydrogen (H+) or hydroxide (OH-) ions changes in an aqueous solution. Different indicators
