This observational study aims to evaluate new markers to predict disease activity in psoriasis. The main question is SGOT, SGPT, GGT, hs-CRP, and apo B related to disease severity in psoriasis.
Psoriasis patients who had signed an informed consent were assessed for PASI scores and 5 cc of blood was drawn for GGT, hs-CRP, and apo B examinations. A PASI score is a tool used to measure the severity and extent of psoriasis. PASI is an acronym for Psoriasis Area and Severity Index.
