Hello! My doctor suspects that I have scleroderma lupus. He scheduled me for next week medical exams. That is why I want to know what I can expect. I mean: how they will diagnose if I have or not scleroderma lupus. This is very important to me and I ask you all for help. Thank you in advance!

Hello. Well, for sure you will do blood test. Blood test (if you have scleroderma lupus) will show antibody in your blood. Which type of antibody would be finding depends of type of scleroderma. Also, maybe you will do EKG exam, X-Rays, etc. I think that you should consult for more details your doctor or someone who is suffering from scleroderma lupus.
