Risk Factors for Future Scleroderma Renal Crisis at Systemic Sclerosis Diagnosis.

CONCLUSION: In this SSc cohort, we present a panel of risk factors for future SRC. These patients may benefit from close observation of blood pressure, proteinuria, and estimated glomerular filtration rate, for earlier SRC identification and intervention. Future prospective therapeutic studies could focus specifically on this high-risk population.
