- Abstract
Objective. Local capillary permeability in patients with SSc has been reported increased when assessed by nail-fold capillaroscopy. We measured capillary permeability at a clinically less affected site by using large-window fluorescein videodensitometry of the ankle. We hypothesized that increased capillary permeability or leakage is a generalized phenomenon in SSc.
