Overview[edit | edit source]

Undifferentiated connective tissue disorder (UCTD) are actually a group of disorders that are unclassified in other connective tissue disorders. UCTD may be classified according to the criteria developed by American College of Rheumatology (ACR) and European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) into: early Raynaud's phenomenon, early inflammatory arthritis that is not classified as rheumatoid arthritis, some manifestations same as that of inflammatory myopathy, systemic lupus erythematosus, Sjögren's syndrome, vasculitis, serositis, or interstitial lung disease which don't meet diagnostic criteria for each of them and early scleroderma.
