    GlossaryImmune Complex Disease

    immune complexes deposit in tissues, causing inflammation and damage

    Immune Complex Disease (ICD) occurs when immune complexes—combinations of antigens and antibodies—form in the bloodstream and deposit in various tissues, leading to inflammation and tissue damage. This can result in conditions such as lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, and certain types of vasculitis. The immune system's response to these complexes can cause symptoms ranging from mild to severe, depending on the organs affected.
