| Abstract: | Serum CRP and uric acid levels were estimated in twenty-five patients with psoriasis (group III) before and after 12 weeks
of treatment. Results were compared with a group of 25 normal subjects (group I) and a group of 25 patients of various skin
diseases other than psoriatic lesion (group II). Mean value for CRP was found to be increased by more than 20 folds in patients
with psoriasis, which was subsequently reduced to nearly 50% of the initial value after 12 weeks of treatment. These patients
also showed hyperuricemia. Nearly 25% of these patients also exhibited arthritis. It is thus suggested that both CRP and uric
acid levels should be monitored in patients with psoriasis. |
