Systemic scleroderma is a rare disease in which visceral manifestations occur, particularly peripheral vascular, digestive, cardiopulmonary and renal. It is pathology with a predilection for women. The present clinical case is that of a man with the renal complications of scleroderma and the difficulties of the treatment even in the developed countries like France. In the present case, the management of this disease required a high dose of corticosteroid therapy and extra-renal purification. Early detection of complications through a minimal clinical examination supplemented with paraclinic tests has proved necessary.
