ABSTRACT
Raynaud’s phenomenon occurs as a result of the exposure to low temperatures and stress. As a secondary phenomenon it coexists with connective tissue diseases: systemic sclerosis, systemic lupus erythematosus and dermatomyositis. Assessment of presence of autoantibodies is a non-invasive method, without any risk, which can be helpful in diagnosing patients with Raynaud’s phenomenon. The aim of the study was to measure the prevalence of autoantibodies in patients with Raynaud’s phenomenon. 76 patients with the diagnosed Raynaud’s phenomenon have undergone clinical and laboratory examinations. The paper presents results of clinical and laboratory studies of the observed patients.
