Autoimmune diseases are a group of pathologies triggered by the disordered function of the immune system. The patient’s immunity attacks the cells of the body, which leads to inflammation and the gradual destruction of tissues. Some autoimmune pathologies affect only one organ (for example, autoimmune thyroiditis), while other affect the entire body (systemic connective tissue diseases). Treatment in Germany offers opportunities to improve life expectancy and quality of life.
Immunology is one of the most complex branches of medicine. Unfortunately, in the majority of cases, the causes of autoimmune diseases cannot be eliminated. These are chronic pathologies and a person has to fight them throughout their life. Etiotropic therapy is possible only with autoimmune diseases, provoked by bacteria or viruses. Therefore, the basis of treatment is pathogenetic therapy. It does not eliminate the cause of the disease, but it affects the basic pathogenetic mechanisms of its formation. Qualitative treatment can reduce the damage to organs and tissues, slow the progression of the disease, and delay or prevent complications.
The main directions of therapy are:
Autoimmune diseases often occur with periods of exacerbations and remissions (attenuation of clinical manifestations). Therefore, the goal of therapy is to achieve remission, reducing the number and duration of acute periods.
The treatment of autoimmune diseases in Germany has severalf advantages for the patient. In this country with well-developed healthcare, therapy in most cases is more effective for the following reasons:
The effectiveness of German diagnostics depends on receiving complete information. Autoantibody panels, biopsy results, and disease activity indices from the patient's home country are frequently incomplete or untranslated on arrival.
Booking Health prepares and forwards the full record to the German center before the first consultation — so that the specialist's time is spent interpreting findings, not reconstructing a history that should have arrived in advance.
CHECK IF A BETTER SOLUTION EXISTS FOR YOUThere are many hospitals in Germany where doctors have great experience in autoimmune diseases treatment. We have highlighted the following medical facilities among others:
Specialists of the Department of Rheumatology treat chronic autoimmune diseases of the joints and spine, as well as systemic autoimmune diseases, such as systemic lupus erythematosus, systemic scleroderma, Horton's disease and others.
Specialists of the Department of Neurology help patients with rare autoimmune pathologies of the nervous system, i.e. vasculitis, autoimmune encephalitis, Wegener's disease and others.
Specialists of the Department of Gastroenterology and Hepatology treat autoimmune diseases of the liver and pancreas, such as autoimmune pancreatitis, autoimmune hepatitis, primary sclerosing cholangitis and others.
Each of these centers treats a different organ system. The right destination depends on confirmed diagnosis, not on the general category of autoimmune disease.
Booking Health matches each patient's specific nosology to the department whose clinical focus most directly corresponds to it.
FIND THE RIGHT SPECIALIST FOR MY CASE
In addition to the health facilities mentioned above, there are also many other health facilities in Germany, where you can take a course of treatment for autoimmune diseases. The hospital should be selected according to a number of criteria. First of all, you need to know your symptoms or the underlying disease, if a diagnosis has already been made. Also, it is necessary to take into account the prices, after all, in different medical centers different programs of diagnostics and therapy of autoimmune pathologies are used.
Booking Health will help you to make the right choice. Leave a request on our website and our service manager will contact you. This process will take no more than 24 hours. Then we will contact you and offer you the best suitable therapy program according to the price and quality, and arrange treatment in Germany with high success rate. Booking Health service is free of charge.
Meanwhile, you get a number of benefits:
The 24-hour response mentioned above is delivered by a physician who reviews the patient's specific diagnosis and clinical history — not a coordinator routing a request to a waiting list. For autoimmune diseases, where the distinction between nosologies directly determines which German department is the appropriate destination, that clinical review is the step that makes the center recommendation meaningful. The savings of up to 70% reflect the elimination of the foreign patient surcharge through Booking Health's direct institutional contracts, and the health insurance covering up to €200,000 is included as standard — protections that independent travel to Germany for specialist care does not carry.
