Abstract
Psoriasis is a persistent inflammatory skin illness which involves nearly 2-3% of the populace worldwide. This disease known to have systemic effects on various organs, comprising the kidneys. Psoriatic nephropathy is a condition in which individuals with psoriasis may experience kidney dysfunction. Several studies suggest a relationship amongst psoriasis and a raised risk of kidney dysfunction, chronic renal insufficiency, and end-stage kidney failure. The prognosis for psoriatic-associated nephropathy is not well-established. However, the intensity of this disease, the existence of arthritis, early detection and monitoring, and the presence of comorbidities may impact the prognosis for patients with psoriasis and renal involvement.
Implication for health policy/practice/research/medical education:
Psoriatic-nephropathy is a condition in which individuals with psoriasis experience kidney dysfunction. Individuals with psoriasis had a greater risk of extending renal dysfunction and showed subclinical glomerular dysfunction compared to non-psoriatic individuals.
