Capillaroscopy is a simple and non-invasive morphological method that, under magnification (which can range from 10 to 1000 times), observes small blood vessels - capillaries located in the nails of the upper extremities. Based on the appearance of the capillary loops, it is possible to discern the differences between normal capillaries of healthy individuals and capillaries in individuals with microvascular disorders. It is important in the early detection of systemic connective tissue diseases, and is used in assessing the severity and monitoring of the progression of systemic connective tissue diseases (systemic sclerosis, systemic lupus erythematosus, Sjogren's syndrome, etc.). It is used in monitoring the effects and success of therapy for these diseases.
