WHAT DOES SCLERODERMA MEAN IN ENGLISH?

scleroderma

Scleroderma

Scleroderma, also known as systemic sclerosis is a chronic systemic autoimmune disease, that primarily affects the skin, is characterised by sclerosis, that is hardening of the skin. Limited scleroderma involves cutaneous manifestations that mainly affect the hands, arms and face. It was previously called CREST syndrome in reference to the following common manifestations: calcinosis, raynaud's phenomenon, esophageal dysfunction, sclerodactyly, and telangiectasias. Diffuse scleroderma is rapidly progressing and affects a large area of the skin and one or more internal organs, frequently the kidneys, oesophagus, heart and/or lungs. This form of scleroderma can be quite disabling. There are no treatments for scleroderma itself, but individual organ system complications are treated. The prognosis is generally good for limited cutaneous scleroderma persons who escape pulmonary complications, but is worse for those with the diffuse cutaneous disease, particularly in older age and for males. Death occurs most often from pulmonary, heart and kidney complications.
