Guest guest Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 CREST is a form of Systemic Scleroderma, as opposed to Limited or Diffuse Scleroderma. C = Calcinosis ; R = Raynauds Syndrome/Disease; E = Esophageal issues; S = Scleradactyl; T = Telangiectasia. CREST is an autoimmune disorder. The blood test for this is the ACA antibody screen. Here's a link to the Mayo webpage for CREST. http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/crest-syndrome/DS00580 UIP/LCH 5.06 CA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
