A Review of Psoriasis, a Known Risk Factor for Cardiovascular Disease and Its Impact on Folate and Homocysteine Metabolism

Abstract: Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin condition with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. This risk has been attributed to an association with many independent risk factors including obesity, hypertension, smoking, and dyslipidemia. Psoriasis patients also have lower levels of folate and conversely higher levels of homocysteine, which in itself is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease. It has been postulated that low folate levels in this group may be a direct cause of hyperhomocysteinemia and th… Show more

“…Egy több mint 7000, psoriasisban szenvedő beteget vizsgáló retrospektív tanulmány szerint a methotrexattal és folsavval kezelt betegek körében alacsonyabb volt a vascularis betegségek incidenciája. Ennek hátterében a methotrexat és a folsav gyulladáscsök-kentő és gyökfogó hatása valószínűsíthető, amely tovább erősíti azt a feltételezést, miszerint a psoriasisos betegek emelkedett CV-rizikójáért többek között az oxidatív stressz és a krónikus gyulladás tehető felelőssé [24].…”

“…However, the evidence to support its use in reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease by directly impacting on plasma homocysteine levels is lacking. Certainly further work within this group is necessary (59). Nevertheless, MTX reduced the incidence of vascular disease in veterans with psoriasis and RA (60).…”
