@beauty.care360: 7 COMMON DISEASES & WHAT THEY CAN DAMAGE IN YOUR BODY 1. MALARIA Malaria can become dangerous when untreated. It can affect: • Brain — confusion, seizures, coma • Kidneys — acute kidney injury • Blood — severe anemia and low platelets • Liver — jaundice and liver dysfunction • Lungs — breathing complications in severe cases Severe malaria can be life-threatening. 2. THYROID DISORDERS Thyroid problems can affect many body systems, depending on whether thyroid hormone levels are too low or too high. Possible effects include: • Heart — abnormal heart rate and rhythm • Cholesterol — hypothyroidism can increase cholesterol • Bones — long-term hyperthyroidism can weaken bones • Brain and nervous system — fatigue, concentration problems, anxiety or other neurological symptoms • Pregnancy — untreated thyroid disease can cause complications 3. PNEUMONIA Pneumonia primarily affects the lungs. It can cause: • Lung air sacs to fill with fluid or pus • Difficulty breathing and low oxygen • Respiratory failure in severe cases • Bloodstream infection and sepsis • Other organ complications when infection becomes severe 4. HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE Long-term uncontrolled high blood pressure can damage: • Heart — heart attack and heart failure • Brain — stroke • Kidneys — chronic kidney disease and kidney failure • Eyes — damage to retinal blood vessels and vision problems • Arteries — damage to blood vessels High blood pressure often causes no obvious symptoms, so regular monitoring is important. 5. JAUNDICE Jaundice is usually a sign of an underlying condition, not a disease itself. It causes yellowing of the skin or whites of the eyes because bilirubin levels are elevated. Possible causes can involve: • Liver — hepatitis or other liver disease • Gallbladder and bile ducts — blockage of bile flow • Blood — excessive breakdown of red blood cells Persistent or unexplained jaundice should be medically evaluated. 6. TUBERCULOSIS (TB) TB most commonly affects the lungs but can spread to other organs. It can affect: • Lungs — chronic cough, chest pain and coughing blood • Brain — TB meningitis • Kidneys — kidney involvement • Spine — spinal TB and back problems • Lymph nodes — swelling Untreated active TB can become life-threatening and can spread to other people. 7. HIGH BLOOD SUGAR / DIABETES Long-term high blood sugar can damage: • Eyes — diabetic retinopathy and vision loss • Kidneys — diabetic kidney disease • Nerves — numbness, burning and pain • Heart and blood vessels — increased risk of cardiovascular disease and stroke • Feet — ulcers, infections and poor wound healing • Sexual and urinary function — nerve and blood-vessel damage can contribute to problems IMPORTANT MEDICAL NOTE: These conditions cannot be diagnosed from symptoms alone. Proper medical evaluation and appropriate tests may be required.
