Hello, I see you are asking "What is connective tissue disease?" A connective tissue disease is any disease that affects the parts of the body that connect the structures of the body together. Connective tissues are made up of two proteins: collagen and elastin. Collagen is a protein found in the tendons, ligaments, skin, cornea, cartilage, bone and blood vessels.

The life expectancy for a patient with mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD) varies depending on the specific symptoms, disease severity, and individual response to treatment. With appropriate medical care and management, many individuals with MCTD can live a relatively normal lifespan. Regular monitoring by healthcare providers and adherence to treatment plans are important for improving outcomes and quality of life for patients with MCTD.
