Sergio A. Jimenez,Chris T. Derk +1 more
TL;DR: The Raynaud phenomenon, swelling of the extremities, and diffuse arthralgias often precede the onset of skin tightness and induration, and a better understanding of the pathogenesis of this incurable disorder will help to design effective therapies in the future.

TL;DR: Age, male gender, digital ulcerations, myositis and lung involvement are independently associated with an increased prevalence of LV dysfunction, and the use of calcium channel blockers may be protective.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dialysis-associated systemic fibrosis (nephrogenic fibrosing dermopathy): study of inflammatory cells and transforming growth factor beta1 expression in affected skin.
Sergio A. Jimenez,Carol M. Artlett,Nora Sandorfi,Chris T. Derk,Kevin Latinis,Heloisa Sawaya,Richard Haddad,Joseph C. Shanahan +7 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that dialysis-associated systemic fibrosis would be a better term for the condition, as the findings indicate that the fibrotic process of NFD affects not only the dermis, but also the subcutaneous tissues, fascia, and other organs, including striated muscles, heart, and lungs.
Journal ArticleDOI
