    Severe hypertension and acute renal failure in diffuse scleroderma can be managed. Treatment with dialysis, antihypertensive drugs, and plasma infusions improved blood pressure and kidney function, suggesting potential to prevent further renal decline.

    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Rheumatology
    • Cardiology

    Background:

    • Diffuse scleroderma is an autoimmune disease associated with significant systemic complications.
    • Hypertension and renal failure are known, severe manifestations of diffuse scleroderma.

    Observation:

    • A 56-year-old woman with diffuse scleroderma presented with severe hypertension and acute renal failure.
    • The patient's condition indicated a critical stage requiring intensive medical intervention.

    Findings:

    • Treatment involved peritoneal dialysis, antihypertensive medications, and plasma infusions.
    • This therapeutic approach resulted in the successful correction of arterial hypertension.
    • Partial recovery of renal function was observed post-treatment.

    Implications:

    • Prompt management of malignant hypertension may halt progressive renal damage in scleroderma patients.
    • This case highlights the importance of aggressive treatment strategies for renal complications in scleroderma.
    • Early intervention in hypertensive crises associated with scleroderma can preserve kidney function.
