Scleroderma renal crisis (SRC) is a medical emergency that affects individuals with systemic sclerosis. It is characterized by sudden onset hypertension, rapidly progressive renal failure, and microangiopathic hemolytic anemia. SRC is a severe condition, and early diagnosis and management are crucial in improving patient outcomes. Owing to its rarity, the term "scleroderma renal crisis" is a widely recognized term. However, it can also be described as scleroderma renal involvement, renal sclerosis, systemic sclerosis renal failure, or systemic sclerosis-associated renal vasculopathy. It is essential to understand these synonyms to facilitate better communication among healthcare professionals, patients, and their families, leading to prompt recognition and management of the condition.
