Systemic Sclerosis (Scleroderma)
Rare autoimmune disease affecting the skin, lungs, heart, kidneys, and digestive tract.
Overview
Systemic sclerosis causes excess collagen to harden skin and, in many patients, internal organs. Early recognition and organ screening are the single greatest determinants of long-term outcome.
How we treat it
Structured organ surveillance — lungs, heart, kidneys and gut — combined with therapy aimed at the specific manifestations you have.
