Abstract

Activating anti–angiotensin type 1 receptor antibodies (AT1R-AA) have been described in patients with systemic scleroderma, an auto-immune disorder with clinical fibrotic features. Chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGvHD) after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation may have clinical fibrotic features, whose pathogenesis may be similar with systemic sclerosis.
