Background: Psoriasis is a multi-system inflammatory disease where skin and joints are the primary targets. Recently, some studies had shown the association of psoriasis with kidney disease.
Aims: To study the association of psoriasis with chronic kidney disease (CKD) in a tertiary health care center.
Methodology: The study was conducted in the Department of Dermatology in a tertiary care center in Kerala. The study was a descriptive cross-sectional study for 6 months from August 2017 to January 2018. A total of 104 patients with psoriasis were studied. Clinical data was collected. Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and albumin creatinine ratio (ACR) were found out to know the presence of CKD. Descriptive and inferential statistical analysis has been carried out in the present study.
Observations: Of the 104 patients, 14 were diagnosed as having CKD. Of the 14 CKD patients, 12 had severe psoriasis, 2 had moderate psoriasis, and none had mild psoriasis. The risk factors for CKD (presence of diabetes mellitus/hypertension or intake of drugs-non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs [NSAIDs]/cyclosporine) were present in 9 out of 14 CKD patients. The duration of psoriasis was more than 10 years in 10 CKD patients.
Conclusion: Our study demonstrated that psoriatic patients have an increased risk of developing CKD and this risk is found to increase with the severity and duration of psoriasis. Our results require confirmation in large-patient populations in prospective studies or case-control studies.

Ionizing radiation on the skin has the potential to cause various sequelae affecting quality of life and even leading to death due to multi-system failure. The development of radiation dermatitis is attributed to oxidative damage to the skin's basal layer and alterations in immune response, leading to inflammation. Past studies have shown that [18F]F-2-fluoro-2-deoxyglucose positron emission tomography-computed tomography ([18F]F-FDG PET/CT) can be used effectively for the detection of inflammatory activity, especially in conditions like hidradenitis suppurativa, psoriasis, and early atherosclerosis.

Background And Objectives: Patients with cutaneous lymphomas (CL) are at an increased risk of developing secondary malignancies. This study aimed to assess the frequency of association between CL and Kaposi sarcoma (KS) and to identify factors that may promote the co-occurrence of these two diseases.
Patients And Methods: On January 25, 2024, we conducted a systematic search of four electronic medical databases to identify all published cases of KS associated with CL.
Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) inhibitors are commonly used for management of various autoimmune disorders but can rarely cause isolated cutaneous lupus. This report presents two cases of cutaneous lupus erythematosus (LE) in women aged 38 and 61 after adalimumab treatment for psoriasis highlighting the importance of recognizing these paradoxical reactions for timely management.

Abnormalities in gene expression profiles characterize patients with inflammatory skin diseases, including psoriasis, and changes may reflect the action of specific therapeutic agents. To examine this, gene expression analysis of psoriatic skin was assessed by Gene Set Variation Analysis using informative gene modules, and longitudinal data were analyzed to assess the impact of various treatments. Ridge penalized logistic regression was employed to derive a transcriptomic score.

Psoriasis is a chronic skin condition with challenges in the accurate assessment of its severity due to subtle differences between severity levels. The aim of this study was to evaluate deep learning models for automated classification of psoriasis severity. A dataset containing 1,546 clinical images was subjected to pre-processing techniques, including cropping and applying noise reduction through median filtering.
