What other diseases are associated with Raynauds phenomena?
We seem to find that patients with autoimmune diseases have a higher frequency of Raynaud’s than the general population. Scleroderma has the strongest association. In phospholipid syndrome, a person has certain blood proteins that predispose them to sluggish blood flow or blood clots that may show up as Raynaud’s. We also see Raynaud’s in patients with lupus.
