摘要
This study aimed to assess the effect of mofetil mycophenolate (MMF), an inhibitor of lymphocyte proliferation, on lung function and skin in patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc)-associated interstitial lung disease (SSc-ILD). In this retrospective study, we reviewed the medical files of 10 patients with SSc-ILD (eight females, 10 patients with diffuse SSc; mean age, 59.7 +/- 12.7 years; disease duration, 7.7 +/- 4.7 years). Patients were treated with MMF (2 g/day) for 12 months. Lung function tests and the modified Rodnan total skin score (mRTSS) were assessed at baseline and at 12 months. Results were analyzed by paired Student's t test. There was a significant increase in forced vital capacity and a nonsignificant increase in carbon monoxide diffusing capacity at 12 months in patients on MMF (p = 0.04 and 0.66, respectively). There was no effect on mRTSS. MMF stabilizes lung function of SSc-ILD after 12 months of treatment.
