Resumen

COLMENARES ROLDAN, Lina María; VELASQUEZ FRANCO, Carlos Jaime  y  MESA NAVAS, Miguel Antonio. Capillaroscopy in systemic sclerosis: a narrative literature review. Rev.Colomb.Reumatol. [online]. 2016, vol.23, n.4, pp.250-258. ISSN 0121-8123.  https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rcreu.2016.06.005.

Nailfold capillaroscopy is relatively little known tool outside the areas of rheumatology and dermatology. It is used to observe the shape, number and organisation of the capillaries in the nail bed. It has not been widely used in the past, partly as it required specialised training and equipment, as well as the poor standardisation of this diagnostic method. However, in recent years, thanks to renewed interest and research effort of the academic community, these problems have been able to be overcome, turning capillaroscopy intoreal resource for the study of microcirculation, being especially useful in differentiating primary from secondary Raynaud’s phenomenon. These benefits have enabled capillaroscopy to gain importance in the rheumatology field, specifically in the early diagnosis of systemic sclerosis, a disease with significant microcirculation involvement, where the change in capillaroscopy pattern also helps to predict the onset of complications, such as digital ulcers and organ compromise.
