Effectiveness of Dialysis in Psoriasis: A Short Review

Psoriasis is a chronic, incurable condition with an erratic course of symptoms and triggers by nature. Psoriasis patients need medical attention that extends beyond only treating skin conditions and joint issues. Because psoriasis is so complex, treating it with medication alone does not work well; comprehensive, whole-person treatment is required. Screening for concomitant diseases including hypertension, dyslipidemia, diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular issues, and their adverse effects like myocardial infarction and stroke is a part of treating psoriasis. Regular screening for these linked illnesses should be done. Essential elements of psoriasis care include co-medication to avoid drug interactions or drug-induced psoriasis, as well as the identification and management of trigger factors. The lack of widely used and established diagnostic criteria restricts these studies. Essential elements of psoriasis management include routine screening for these associated disorders, co-medication to avoid drug interactions or psoriasis caused by drugs, as well as the identification of trigger factors and their management. This short review highlights the effectiveness of dialysis in people with psoriasis and the fact that the benefit is more pronounced with peritoneal dialysis than with hemodialysis.
