Abstract:
Systemic sclerosis is a disease characterized by skin and internal organ fibrosis, lacking specific therapeutic drugs and having a poor prognosis. Early diagnosis and intervention of the disease is of significant value in improving patient prognosis. This article provides a systematic review of the early diagnosis and treatment of systemic sclerosis, including early symptom recognition, laboratory testing, and drug intervention. It will provide a reference for the prevention of this disease.
