Mixed Connective Tissue Disease (MCTD)
Mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD) is a rare autoimmune condition characterized by symptoms that combine features of several autoimmune diseases, such as systemic lupus erythematosus, scleroderma, rheumatoid arthritis, and myositis.
Common symptoms of MCTD:
- Severe fatigue and fever;
- Joint and muscle pain;
- Swelling of the hands and Raynaud’s phenomenon (color changes in fingers when exposed to cold);
- Breathing difficulties due to lung involvement;
- Gastrointestinal or cardiac issues.
Treatment for mixed connective tissue disease includes:
- Anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive medications;
- Close monitoring of organ-related complications;
- A personalized care plan for each patient.
Early diagnosis and timely intervention are crucial to prevent organ damage and improve quality of life. We provide ongoing support and advanced medical solutions for managing this complex condition.
