Early localized
days to 1 month

What is the difference between Systemic Sclerosis and CREST?
A spectrum of disease:
CREST = Calcinosis, Raynaud’s Esophageal Dysmotility, Sclerodactyly, Telangiectasia
When the above also involves the lungs, heart, and kidney it is scleroderma (a.k.a. systemic sclerosis)
What are the features of systemic sclerosis?
All of the features of CREST in addition to:
- Skin: Fibrosis of the hands, face, neck and extremities
- GI: GERD, diverticuli, diarrhea
- Renal: hypertensive crises
- Lung: fibrosis leading to restrictive lung disease and pulmonary hypertension
- Cardiac: myocardial fibrosis, pericarditis, and heart block, RVH
