Abstract
Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a rare, multifactorial autoimmune disease characterized by widespread vascular damage and fibrosis. Pulmonary involvement is a significant manifestation of SSc, contributing to considerable morbidity and mortality. Therefore, identifying reliable biomarkers is of the utmost importance. This review explores emerging biomarkers to enhance diagnostic accuracy, prognostic assessment, and disease monitoring in SSc lung involvement. We discuss recent findings in immunological biomarkers, inflammatory indicators, and other parameters that can function as potential diagnostic and prognostic tools. A comprehensive understanding of these biomarkers could result in earlier and more accurate detection of pulmonary complications in SSc, aiding in timely intervention. Furthermore, we explore the advances in disease monitoring through innovative biomarkers, focusing on their roles in disease activity and treatment response. Integrating these novel biomarkers into current clinical practice and therapeutic protocols through clinical trials can revolutionize the management of SSc-related lung disease, ultimately improving patient outcomes and quality of life.
