Systemic Sclerosis is a comprehensive, standard reference on sclerosis written by well-known experts in the field. The book presents a concise overview of the causes of scleroderma, as well as the latest information on the development and diagnosis of the disease. Problems in affected organs are discussed along with treatment options. The Second Edition has been revised and expanded to make it a more clinically useful reference, with the increased number of diagrams, pictures, and tables, inclusion of highlighted "nuggets" of therapy, and detailed explanation of appropriate tests to order based on organ involvement.
