MedlinePlus: Scleroderma means hard skin. it is a group of diseases that causes abnormal growth of connective tissue, the proteins that support your skin and organs. there are two main types. localized scleroderma affects only your skin. systemic scleroderma affects your blood vessels and internal organs, as well as your skin.
symptoms of scleroderma include
calcium deposits in connective tissues
raynaud's phenomenon, narrowing of blood vessels in the hands or feet
swelling of the esophagus, the tube between your throat and stomach
thick, tight skin on your fingers
red spots on your hands and face
no one knows what causes scleroderma. it is more common in women. it can be mild or severe. there is no cure, but various treatments can relieve symptoms.

MalaCards: Systemic Scleroderma, also known as scleroderma, is related to relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis and localized scleroderma. An important gene associated with Systemic Scleroderma is FBLL1 (fibrillarin-like 1), and among its related pathways are PTEN Pathway and Lymphocyte Signaling. The drugs chloroquine and epoprostenol and the compounds polyethylene glycol and budesonide have been mentioned in the context of this disorder. Affiliated tissues include heart, kidney and lung, and related mouse phenotypes are respiratory system and endocrine/exocrine gland. Disease Ontology: A scleroderma that is characterized by fibrosis (or hardening) of the skin and major organs, as well as vascular alterations, and autoantibodies.6 Genetics Home Reference: Systemic scleroderma is an autoimmune disorder that affects the skin and internal organs. Autoimmune disorders occur when the immune system malfunctions and attacks the body's own tissues and organs. The word "scleroderma" means hard skin in Greek, and the condition is characterized by the buildup of scar tissue (fibrosis) in the skin and other organs. The condition is also called systemic sclerosis because the fibrosis can affect organs other than the skin. Fibrosis is due to the excess production of a tough protein called collagen, which normally strengthens and supports connective tissues throughout the body.17 Wikipedia: Systemic sclerosis or systemic scleroderma is a systemic autoimmune disease or systemic connective...44 more... |
