Journal Title: International Journal of Medical and Health Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
Aim: Psoriasis is a common chronic inflammatory skin disease with an unknown etiology. Our aim is to evaluate status of serum lipids and oxidative stress in psoriatic cases. Materials and methods: Study group comprised 30 newly diagnosed cases of psoriasis attending OPD of dermatology department, Mamata General hospital, Khammam. 30 age and sex matched healthy subjects were recruited as controls with informed consent .Ethical committee clearance was taken. Cholesterol, Triglyceride, HDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, Malondialdehyde (MDA) and Total antioxidant capacity were measured in serum of psoriatic cases and controls. Results: Mean serum levels of MDA, Cholesterol, Triglycerides and LDL cholesterol were significantly increased and TAC and HDL cholesterol were significantly decreased in psoriatic cases compared to controls. Conclusion: Our results revealed that psoriasis is associated with dyslipidemia and altered oxidative stress status.
