Sažetak
Systemic sclerosis is a chronic, progressive multiorgan disease in which considerable fibrosis, vascular alterations, and autoantibodies against diverse antigens are among the principal features. The disease is of unknown cause. Most frequent extracutaneous involvement is the lung. Interstitial lung disease and pulmonary hypertension are the most frequent clinical expressions of lung involvement and most serious events concerning the prognosis. The prognosis of patients with systemic sclerosis unequivocally depends upon pulmonary complications. The systemic sclerosis associated interstitial lung disease and pulmonary hypertension will be described and their current and future therapies presented.
