Abstract
The diagnosis and therapy of systemic sclerosis (SSc) is demanding due to its nature as a multisystem disease and its chronic, severe course. To date, there are no generally accepted recommendations for diagnostic work-up either for the time of initial disease diagnosis or for the regular follow-up clinical examinations and diagnostic procedures required. However, due to recent advances, e.g. in the therapy of pulmonary arterial hypertension, regular examinations may contribute to early recognition and treatment of developing organ involvement. This manuscript describes the recommendations for initial and follow-up organ-specific clinical examinations and diagnostic work-up as compiled and carried out by the German Network for Systemic Scleroderma [Deutsche Netzwerk für systemische Sklerodermie (DNSS)].
