Systemic scleroderma

The course of the disease and the symptoms of systemic scleroderma (systemic sclerosis) are very individual for each patient. This makes it a complicated systemic disease. Typically, various organ systems are affected, leading to disturbances in circulation, the immune system, and connective tissue metabolism. Some patients experience the disease as an unstoppable, severe disability. However, this does not have to be the case. Although the disease is still incurable today, the symptoms can be treated in various ways, allowing for the preservation of quality of life. This guide helps to understand the disease and cope with it. PD Dr. med. Michael Buslau addresses how an active life with systemic scleroderma is possible in his new guide. What can be done during an acute flare-up? What therapies are suitable? How much exercise is beneficial, and what about family planning? Those seeking answers to these and many other questions about systemic scleroderma will find them in this book. Clearly understandable, comprehensive, and up-to-date.
