Overview of Systemic Scleroderma

Systemic Scleroderma also known as systemic sclerosis may affect the skin, blood vessels, and/or internal organs.

With the blood vessels, it can cause Raynaud's, when it affects the internal organs, it may cause disability or even death. It can affect the gastrointestinal track, the heart, the lungs and the kidneys. It can also cause chronic fatigue and pain. There is no cure for systemic scleroderma.
