9. What Is the Outlook for Individuals With MCTD?

Few cases of MCTD become serious. While there is no cure for this disorder, most individuals are able to manage symptoms and limit the effects. Working closely with medical professionals can help find the ideal balance of medication and lifestyle changes to successfully manage this autoimmune disorder.

While uncommon, some individuals experience more serious complications. The 10-year survival rate for individuals with this disorder is 80%. Issues related to severe inflammation and high blood pressure can become serious if not managed.
