Scleroderma test is undertaken for detecting autoimmunity, antinuclear antibodies (ANAs) to evaluate the presence of any internal disease. This test checks for scleroderma.
Scleroderma is a chronic, autoimmune disease of the connective tissue and is also known as systemic sclerosis. It is a disease in which the symptoms may either be visible, as when the skin is affected, or invisible, as when only internal organs are involved.
A person suffering from Scleroderma usually develops few dry patches of skin on the hands or face. These patches eventually turn thicker and harder spreading over to other areas of the skin. Its involvement may range from mild symptoms to life threatening. It affects about 300,000 people in the USA and is 4 times more common in women than in men.
