For both, completely effective treatment is not available, mainly as a result of the lack of knowledge of its pathogenesis.[academy.theisn.org]
Because SRC most commonly stems from the progression of an existing diffuse disease state, the treatment of both is required, although these treatments are not inherently identical. Treatment Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs).[consultant360.com]
What is the treatment? Treatments for scleroderma vary according to the problems you have. Various drugs (as well as warm gloves) may help Raynaud’s syndrome, for instance.[edren.org]
The advantage of photopheresis treatment is the low frequency of side effects related to treatment. The disadvantages are the practical efforts required and the high treatment cost [ 20, 21 ].[clinmedjournals.org]
However, it can help to define prognosis and guide treatment in atypical forms. The prognosis of SRC has dramatically improved with the introduction of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEi).[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Nevertheless, the prognosis is still not good. Survival at one and five years is only 76% and 65%, respectively, for SRC patients treated with ACE inhibitors.[the-rheumatologist.org]
Prognosis is worse for males, but may not be related to corticosteroid use, presence of MAHA or severity of renal pathology.[academic.oup.com]
No medications appear to be truly effective in patients with aggressive disease and long-term prognosis remains disappointing [ 9 ].[clinmedjournals.org]
Blood tests to look for certain antibodies (for instance anti-Scl-70 antibodies, anti-centromere antibodies) may help, and can help predict prognosis.[edren.org]
