THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SERUM URIC ACID CONCENTRATIONS WITH CLINICAL CHARACTER IN PSORIASIS PATIENTS
Main Article Content
Abstract
Objective: Describe the relationship between serum uric acid levels and clinical character in psoriasis patients. Research subjects and methods: The study included 240 psoriasis patients treated at the National Hospital of Dermatology. Results: 28.3% of psoriasis patients had increased serum uric acid levels. Men with psoriasis have a higher rate of increased uric acid than women. There is no relationship between disease duration and age of psoriasis onset with increased serum uric acid levels. There is a statistically significant difference in the proportion of patients with increased serum uric acid between mild, moderate and severe disease groups. BMI and PASI are two independent risk factors leading to increased serum uric acid in psoriasis patients with the indexes respectively: OR = 1.1 (95% CI: 1.1-1.3) and OR = 1.2 (95% CI: 1.1-1.2). Conclusion: There is a relationship between increased uric acid levels and clinical characteristics of psoriasis patients.
