Abstract

AbstractCapillary microscopy is a safe and non‐invasive tool to evaluate the morphology of the microcirculation typically affected in SSc. Next to being paramount for the “(very) early” diagnosis of SSc eyes are also geared toward capillaroscopy with the aim to be able to use it as a biomarker, especially in the prediction of future occurrence of DU. The following review will explain what capillary microscopy is and will focus additionally on studies evaluating the association between capillaroscopy and DU.
