Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF) α, Endothelin (ET) 1 and α1-Acid Glycoprotein (AGP) as Potential Urine and Serum Markers of Metabolic Complications in Psoriasis?
Abstract:Introduction
Psoriasis, one of the most frequent dermatoses, strongly associated with metabolic disorders which increase patients’ comorbidity and mortality. Hence, it is essential to look for markers of such complications. Our aim was to assess the clinical utility of urinary tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα), endothelin 1 (ET-1) and α1-acid glycoprotein (α1AGP) as well as their serum concentrations as markers of metabolic complications in psoriatics, and to examine the relations of these marker… Show more
