Ulcerative colitis
Ulcerative colitis is one of many conditions known as inflammatory bowel disease.
Asthma & Allergy
Allergic reactions occur when a substance enters the body that the body’s immune system identifies as an allergen: allergens can be something you inhale, swallow, or touch. Once the body identifies an allergen, the immune system produces antibodies to “attack” it. The production of these antibodies is what causes an allergic reaction.
Typically, allergens don’t cause serious reactions. But sometimes, an allergic reaction can cause asthma or can even be life-threatening. Patients with life-threatening allergies must take great precaution to avoid the allergen. They are oftentimes prescribed an adrenaline pen for emergency situations. When allergens cause asthma, this is referred to as allergic asthma. Allergic asthma is the most common form of asthma diagnosed in children and adults.
Treatment of asthma & allergies
The goal of asthma and allergy treatment is to reduce the number of allergic and/or asthma attacks, or prevent them altogether. Your doctor will work with you to identify triggers or allergens so that you can take appropriate steps to avoid them.
Your doctor may prescribe daily medications that reduce inflammation in the airways to maintain the health of the bronchi (the tubes that carry air to the lungs). In case of a flare-up, fast-acting inhalers are used to quickly open up the airways.
Specialty medications used to treat asthma & allergies Xolair
Xolair is an injectable prescription medication used to treat moderate to severe allergic asthma. It is prescribed to patients aged six years and up who do not respond to corticosteroid asthma medications. Xolair is injected under the skin every two to four weeks by a doctor or a nurse.

Cardiovascular Disease
Cardiovascular disease is a term given to a group of diseases affecting the heart and/or blood vessels (arteries and veins). Cardiovascular disease can occur for a number of reasons, including:
- Deformity of the heart at birth
- Atherosclerosis (narrowing or blockage of the blood vessels)
- Damage to the muscles of the heart and/or its valves after being infected by certain bacteria such as rheumatic fever
- Blood clots
- Inheriting genetic risk factors
Complications related to cardiovascular disease can include:
- Stroke
- Heart attack
- Arrhythmia
- Heart valve malfunctions
- Heart failure
Treatment of cardiovascular disease
The goal of cardiovascular disease treatment is to prevent progression of the disease and reduce the risk of further complications. Cardiovascular disease is typically treated with prescription medications. However, sometimes patients require medical device implantation or corrective surgery to help manage symptoms and prevent further disease progression.

Crohn’s Disease
Crohn’s disease is one of many chronic conditions characterized as an inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Patients diagnosed with Crohn’s disease experience extreme inflammation in the deep lining of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. This inflammation can occur anywhere along the GI tract and interferes with the body’s ability to properly absorb nutrients. If not treated early-on, Crohn’s disease can cause malnutrition, bowel obstruction, or damage to the GI tract.
Treatment of Crohn’s disease
The goal of Crohn’s disease treatment is to reduce inflammation in the gastrointestinal system. By managing symptoms of Crohn’s disease, doctors hope to achieve and maintain remission to protect the health of the intestines and prevent any additional health complications.
There is currently no cure for Crohn’s disease, but doctors aim to help patients manage symptoms and reduce the risk of further health complications. Treatments used to manage symptoms of Crohn’s disease include anti-inflammatories, immune system suppressors, nutritional supplements and therapies, and in some cases surgery.

Endocrine Disorders
Endocrine disorders are disorders of the endocrine system. The endocrine system is a network of organs, called glands, that make, release, and regulate hormones in the body. Hormones are vital for nearly all functions of the body, including how the heart beats, bone strength, and even balancing one’s mood. Endocrine disorders develop when one of these glands either produces too much or too little of a certain hormone.
Some examples of endocrine disorders include:
- Diabetes
- Growth hormone deficiency
- Acromegaly (the production of too much growth hormone)
- Thyroid deficiency and overactive thyroid
- Polycystic ovary syndrome
Treatment of endocrine disorders
The goal of treatment for endocrine disorders is to restore hormonal balance and relieve symptoms of endocrine disorders. Treatments used to manage symptoms of endocrine disorders are typically oral and injectable prescription medications that correct a hormonal imbalance. If a hormonal imbalance is caused by an abnormal growth (either cancerous or noncancerous) on the gland, your doctor may recommend surgery to remove the growth.

Hemophilia
Hemophilia is a rare inherited genetic disorder characterized by the body’s inability to clot blood properly. People diagnosed with hemophilia are deficient in a specific substance, called a blood clotting factor, that allows it to clot properly. There are three types of hemophilia:
- Hemophilia A: Deficiency of blood clotting factor VIII (8). Hemophilia A can be passed down from a parent to a child, but it can also occur due to spontaneous mutation (change) in a gene throughout a person’s life.
- Hemophilia B: Deficiency of blood clotting factor IV (9). Hemophilia B can be passed down from a parent to a child, but it can also occur due to spontaneous mutation (change) in a gene throughout a person’s
- Hemophilia C: Deficiency of blood clotting factor XI (11). Hemophilia C is passed down from the parents to a child
When the blood is unable to clot properly, this can cause spontaneous bleeding and/or excessive bleeding following injuries or surgery.
Treatment of hemophilia
The goal of hemophilia treatment is to increase blood clotting factors, reduce the severity of bleeding, and reduce and/or prevent complications of excessive bleeding. Hemophilia is treated by intravenous infusion that replaces the missing blood clotting factor.

Immune System Disorders
Immune system disorders develop when the body’s immune system doesn’t work properly. The immune system is the body’s protection against foreign substances, such as bacteria, parasites, viruses, and other substances that appear harmful. When the body recognizes a harmful substance, it acts to destroy it.
When the immune system doesn’t work properly, it can:
- Become underactive: When the immune system is underactive, the body’s ability to fight infections is compromised. This is referred to as immune deficiency disease.
- Become overactive: When the immune system is overactive, it reacts to substances that are normally harmless. One example of this would be an allergic reaction.
- Attack the body: When the immune system recognizes the body’s own tissues and cells as harmful, it attacks and damages the body’s own tissues — this is referred to as autoimmune disease.
Treatment of immune system disorders
The goal of immune system disorder treatment depends on the type of immune system disorder diagnosed. Treatment goals include:
- Augmenting the immune system with immunoglobulin replacement therapy so the body can protect itself against harmful pathogens.
- Suppressing the immune system with immunosuppressive medications so the body does not attack itself.
Specialty medications used to treat immune system disorders

Multiple Sclerosis
Multiple sclerosis is a chronic autoimmune condition that affects the central nervous system — the brain and spinal cord — and the optic (eye) nerves. Multiple sclerosis develops when the body’s immune system attacks the fatty, protective layer around the nerves, called myelin. Without this protective layer, the nerves can become damaged and affect the way the brain sends signals to the rest of the body.
Patients diagnosed with multiple sclerosis may experience stiffness and spasms of the muscles, difficulty walking, and blurred vision.
Treatment of multiple sclerosis
The goal of multiple sclerosis treatment is to slow disease progression, manage symptoms, and prevent relapse. Multiple sclerosis is treated with prescription medications that help reduce inflammation of the nerves and relax the muscles. Physical therapy is typically part of a multiple sclerosis treatment plan.

Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis is a bone disease characterized by a loss of density in the bones, and bones that become porous and brittle. The bones are made up of living tissue. Just like all living tissue, bone tissue is broken down and replaced throughout one’s lifetime. When bone tissue is broken down faster than it is replaced, the bones become more fragile and are more likely to fracture or break from a fall and even minor bumps.
The risk of developing osteoporosis may be higher in patients diagnosed with the following disorders:
- Endocrine disorders, like diabetes
- Immune system disorders, like lupus
- Multiple sclerosis
- Rheumatoid arthritis
