Metabolic Syndrome in Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis and Correlation With Serum Omentin and Visfatin Levels

The Prevalence of Metabolic Syndrome in Patients With Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis and Its Correlation With Disease Severity and Serum Omentin-1 and Visfatin Levels

In this study, the prevalence of metabolic syndrome in psoriatic and psoriatic arthritis patients as well as the parameters of metabolic syndrome will be examined. At the same time, the levels of omentin and visfatin adipokines associated with metabolic syndrome and obesity will be measured by measuring the disease severity (by PASI psoriasis, clinical activity score for psoriatic arthritis). The patients who accepted to participate in the study , who were admitted to the dermatology outpatient clinic were included in the study. For the blood tests required after the examination, 2 tubes of blood will be taken for the measurement of omentin and visfatin. 80 psoriasis, 40 psoriatic arthritis and 60 healthy volunteers were planned to be studied. AHA / NHLBI, 2005 (revised ATP III criteria) criterion for the diagnosis of metabolic syndrome will be used. Omentin and visfatin levels are compared with the severity of the disease for psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis, and it will be examined whether it is proinflammatory or antiinflammatory.
