The peculiarities of the metabolism processes in patients with the exacerbation of extensive psoriasis

Purpose. The study of some indices of the metabolism in patients with the exacerbation of extensive psoriasis, the investigation of the revealed disorder dependence on the clinical peculiarities of the disease and anamnesis data. Methods. 253 patients with extensive psoriasis from the age of 18 to 72 have been investigated.Some indices of lipid and protein metabolism, medium molecular peptide content, lipid peroxidation and antioxidant protection processes in blood plasma have been studied. Results. Dysproteinemia, the increase of С — reactive protein level, seromucoid, medium molecular peptides, common lipids, triglycerides, the reduction of the level of lipid proteins of high density, the intensification of lipid peroxidation processes and the reduction of antioxidant activity have been marked in blood plasma in patients with the exacerbation of extensive psoriasis. The dependence of some indices of metabolism on the clinical picture and the severity of skin process, age, family history has been revealed. Conclusion. Metabolism disorders in patients with psoriasis are of systemic character. It seems appropriate to carry out a deep study of metabolism indices in patients with psoriasis with the following correction of the revealed disorders
