Dr. M. Sangamithra, Dr. A. Padma Vijayasree
Abstract :
Background: Psoriasis is a skin disorder associated with abnormal lipid prolife and decreased antioxidants. Dyslipidemia leads to Cardiovascular diseases which increase mortality and morbidity in psoriasis patients .
Objectives:To estimate and compare lipid profile and Vitamin C levels in Psoriatic patients and healthy controls.
Materials and methods :A case control study was done on 80 individuals (40 Psoriatic patients as cases and 40 healthy controls ). Serum total cholesterol, triglycerides , high density lipoprotein and Vitamin C levels were estimated.
Results :The serum levels of total cholesterol,triglycerides, low density lipoprotein were significantly increased in cases whereas high density lipoprotein and Vitamin C levels were decreased in cases as compared to controls.
Conclusion:Psoriasis is a high risk factor forCardiovascular diseases which can be prevented by early screening and treatment of hyperlipidemias .Vitamin C supplementation is recommended to prevent skin damage.
