Ixekizumab May Improve Renal Function in Psoriasis

Abstract: Background: Psoriasis is a chronic dermatological condition characterized by lesions on extensor surfaces, hands, feet, and genital areas. Chronic renal failure is often associated with metabolic syndrome and inflammatory conditions, such as psoriasis. Case report: In this paper, we report a patient with stage-three chronic renal failure that improved his renal condition after treatment with ixekizumab, an anti-IL17A drug used in the treatment of various cutaneous and rheumatological conditions. Conclusions: I… Show more

“…Among the basic systemic antipsoriatic agents, acitretin and cyclosporin A are known to cause hyperlipidemia as a side effect [ 8 ]. As for biological treatment, it has become the first-line treatment in the management of moderate-to-severe psoriasis [ 63 ]. The drugs act by selectively blocking cytokines involved in psoriatic inflammation, such as IL-17 or IL-23 and TNF [ 63 , 64 , 65 ].…”

“…As for biological treatment, it has become the first-line treatment in the management of moderate-to-severe psoriasis [ 63 ]. The drugs act by selectively blocking cytokines involved in psoriatic inflammation, such as IL-17 or IL-23 and TNF [ 63 , 64 , 65 ]. A study assessing lipid profile in psoriatics before and during anti-TNF treatment resulted in a significant decrease in total and LDL cholesterol concentration, with a trend regarding the elevation of HDL and a decrease in triglyceride levels [ 66 ].…”

“…Chronic plaque-type psoriasis is the most common form of the immune-mediated inflammatory skin disease, psoriasis. Supposedly, genetic and environmental factors interplay in triggering the appearance of the characteristic red and silver scaly plaques on the skin of patients [ 1 , 2 ]. The pathomechanism of this multifactorial disease is not fully understood and with current therapeutic possibilities, recurrence of symptoms cannot yet be prevented [ 3 ].…”

“…Smoking produces free radicals that may activate signaling pathways such as the mitogen-activated kinase, nuclear factor B and Janus kinase-STAT pathways. Byproducts from smoking, such as nicotine and dioxin, activate T cells that produce interleukin-12 (IL-12), interleukin-17 (IL-17) and interleukin-23 (IL-23), which are also involved in the pathogenesis of psoriasis [ 7 , 8 ]. Because IL-17 is one of the major cytokines involved in the pathogenesis of psoriasis, there are mechanistic reasons to believe that smoking could contribute to the development of psoriasis [ 9 , 10 ].…”
