The purpose of this study was to assess the skin involvement in systemic scleroderma patients (SSc) with 2D-Shear Wave Elastography (2D-SWE) and to review the corelation between skin elasticity and pu...
Thirty SSc patients and 30 controls were examined using 2D-SWE. The demographics matched both groups. B-mode ultrasound (US) and 2D-SWE assessed skin thickness and elastography from the ventral side o...
US parameter values (skin thickness, median kPa, median m/s) were higher in the SSc patient group (1.78 ± 0.36 mm, 22.15 ± 16.26, 2.60 ± 0.82, respectively) compared to the control group (1.55 ± 0.2 m...
2D-SWE is a promising non-invasive method to evaluate skin involvement in SSc patient group. For pulmonary involvement we need more data with bigger patient groups....
The spectrum of kidney involvement in systemic sclerosis (SSc) includes scleroderma renal crisis, widely recognized as the most severe renal-vascular complication, but also several forms of chronic re...
Systemic sclerosis is a complex multisystem connective tissue disease resulting in fibrosis of the skin and internal organs. Exposure to corticosteroids can trigger scleroderma renal crisis, a life-th...
