Progressive systemic sclerosis - what does this mean
Progressive systemic sclerosis is an autoimmune disorder in which the body's immune system mistakenly attacks healthy tissues, leading to the formation of scar tissue in the skin and organs. this scar tissue causes the walls of the blood vessels to thicken and harden, leading to a decrease in blood flow and the development of various organ complications.
What happens during the disease - progressive systemic sclerosis
Progressive systemic sclerosis is an autoimmune disease in which the body's immune system mistakenly attacks healthy tissue, leading to the formation of scar tissue in the skin and internal organs. this scarring can lead to thickening of the skin, hardening of the internal organs, and narrowing of the blood vessels. in addition, the immune system may produce antibodies that attack the body's own cells and tissues, causing inflammation and destruction of healthy tissue. this can result in the development of organ damage, including pulmonary fibrosis, heart failure, and kidney failure.
