2017, Seminars in Arthritis and RheumatismCitation Excerpt :It has gained remarkable interest among rheumatologists because of its utility in both clinical practice and research activity [8–10]. To date, several studies have demonstrated the diagnostic and prognostic role of NFC in rheumatic disorders, especially in systemic sclerosis (SSc) and Raynaud phenomenon (RP) [11–15]. IMs, especially DM, offer an ideal scenario for the use of NFC due to its active involvement of vascular endothelium that induces a complement-mediated microangiopathy [2–4].
