Pulmonary hypertension autoimmune disease

Primary pulmonary hypertension differs from typical autoimmune diseases, however, in that there is no evidence of immune complexes either circulating or locally deposited in the pulmonary vascular bed (Voelkel and Reeves, 1979). In addition, the treatment of primary pulmonary hypertension with immunosuppressive agents (Immuran) has not been successful.
