Abstract

Background: Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a multisystem autoimmune illness with  a wide range of clinical symptoms. The pulmonary organ manifestations  frequently occur, but the symptoms are non-specific. Radiological examination and pulmonary function tests (spirometry) are needed to detect lung abnormalities in SSc patients. This study aimed to obtain information about the overview of lung abnormalities in SSc patients through spirometry, chest x-ray, and high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) scan examination.Methods: A descriptive qualitative study was conducted on 75 SSc patients registered in Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital Bandung from January 2019 to December 2020. Data were collected with a total sampling method and presented in proportions and percentages.Results: The majority of subjects were affected by cutaneous 73 (97%), pulmonary 29 (39%), and musculoskeletal 17 (23%) involvement. Spirometry revealed that 43 subjects (57%) had restrictive lung disease, with one false-positive case and two false-negative cases. On a chest x-ray, 45 (60%) of subjects had abnormalities. The majority of subjects were found to have Ground-glass opacities on HRCT scans. Ground-glass opacities were discovered in 46 subjects (82%) and 27 subjects (60%) were identified as having severe fibrosis scores.Conclusion: According to spirometry results and abnormalities on chest x-ray and HRCT scans, the majority of SSc patients have restrictive lung disease.

Abstract

Objective: To understand the correlation between serum KL-6 level and severity of SARD-related ILD in Indonesia.Method: This was a cross-sectional study to evaluate the correlation between serum KL-6 level and Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD) severity based on Chest High-Resolution Computed Tomography (Chest HCRT) among patients with Systemic Autoimmune Rheumatic Disorders (SARD) who visited the Rheumatology Clinic of Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital during the period of January 2019 to February 2020. Secondary data were retrieved from a study on the Effects of Ciplukan Herbs on Organ Fibrosis. KL-6 serum concentration was measured from stored biological material and the correlation between the serum KL-6 level and ILD severity was analyzed by Rank Spearman's test.Results: Thirty-four patients participated in this study with a median age of 37 years-old. Most of the participants were female (94.1%), Sundanese (64.7%), and had systemic sclerosis as an underlying disease (48.5). The median serum KL-6 level was 57.1 U/ml (21.6-444.1). Most participants belonged to severe ILD group (58.8%) with a mean serum KL-6 level of 65.1±48.9 U/ml. The highest mean serum KL-6 level (111.6±121.8) was observed in the moderate ILD group comprising of 32.4% of the participants. The remaining 11.8% participants belonged to mild ILD group with a mean serum KL-6 level of 61.1±24.9 U/ml. Serum KL-6 level was demonstrated to have a weak correlation with ILD severity (r=-0.229, p=0.193).Conclusion. There is an insignificant weak correlation between serum KL-6 level and ILD severity based on chest HRCT in SARD patients.
