Article Synopsis
- Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is often marked by positive antinuclear antibodies (ANA) and Raynaud's phenomenon, but a case is presented of a patient with severe, rapidly progressive SSc despite negative ANA and absent RP.
- The patient experienced serious complications including scleroderma renal crisis, leading to dialysis and a kidney transplant, as well as significant gastrointestinal issues requiring specialized feeding methods.
- Successful treatment involved multiple medications and resulted in improved skin condition and positive follow-up outcomes, highlighting the need to recognize diverse manifestations of SSc to reduce mortality risks.
Purpose Of Review: Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is a common manifestation of systemic sclerosis (SSc). We explore the importance of early detection, monitoring, and management of SSc-ILD.
Recent Findings: All patients with SSc are at risk of ILD and should be screened for ILD at diagnosis using a high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) scan.
