ABSTRACT: Systemic scleroderma is a rare
disease in which visceral manifestations occur, particularly peripheral
vascular, digestive, cardiopulmonary and renal. It is pathology with a
predilection for women. The present clinical case is that of a man with the
renal complications of scleroderma and the difficulties of the treatment even
in the developed countries like France. In the present case, the management of
this disease required a high dose of corticosteroid therapy and extra-renal
purification. Early detection of complications through a minimal clinical
examination supplemented with paraclinic tests has proved necessary.
