Hyperuricemia and Serum ADA Levels in Psoriasis and their Correlation to Severity of Disease
Artigo | IMSEAR | ID: sea-202556
ABSTRACT

Introduction:

Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatoryautoimmune disease characterized by hyperproliferation ofkeratinocytes with multifactorial pathogenesis includinggenetic, and environmental factors. The aim of this study wasto evaluate serum ADA, SUA, and ESR in psoriatic patientsand their correlations with PASI score.Material and

methods:

Our study was a case–control study.The sample size was calculated using the Cochran formulaand 50 patients of psoriasis who attended the out patient clinicat SMHS and Government medical college, srinagar wereincluded in the study. These patients were divided accordingto PASI scores into three groups (mild, moderate, and severe).PASI score <10 defined psoriasis as mild, between 10 and 20as moderate, and >20 as severe. A group of 50 healthy subjectsof matched age and sex were included as a control group whowere taken from amongst volunteering hospital staff andrelatives.

Results:

This study included 50 psoriatic patients classifiedaccording to PASI score into mild, moderate, and severepsoriatic group and 50 age and sex matched controls. Outof these four patients had mild psoriasis, twelve patients hadmoderate psoriasis and thirty four patients had severe psoriasisaccording to PASI. Fifty healthy subjects were includedas a control group. There were no statistically significantdifferences of age and sex between different patients and thecontrol group.

Conclusion:

ESR, Serum Uric Acid and serum adenosinedeaminase levels are significantly raised in patients withpsoriasis. However there was no association with severity ofdisease in these patients, however, larger studies are neededto elucidate the mechanism and whether this hyperuricemiapredisposes these patients to gout and increased risk ofcardiovascular disease.
