Evaluation on whether Psoriasis Severity is Affected by the Lipid Profile in Indian Patients: A Hospital Based Study

Col. Dr Mahendra Singh Deora

Abstract :

Psoriasis is a lifelong chronic inflammatory skin disorder characterized by increased T helper cell activity and associated with abnormal lipid metabolism and reduced differentiation of keratinocytes. Aim of study was to evaluate the lipid profile status in patients with psoriasis and compare with healthy controls and whether it affects the severity of psoriasis. In conclusion we foundthat cholesterol, LDL-c and triglyceride levels are asreported previously to be higher in psoriasis patients while HDL-c levels are as reported previously to be low which makes adifference in the severity of psoriasis.
