Abstract
Each participant was subjected to a detailed history taking and careful clinical examination. Blood samples were taken from all subjects to assess serum level of Visfatin by ELISA technique.
Results of the present study revealed: higher levels of serum Visfatin in patients with psoriasis when compared with controls and higher levels of serum Visfatin in psoriatic patients with higher PASI scores.
This study concluded that visfatin is one of adipokines that may have a role in the pathogenesis of psoriasis and its severity in addition to its role in the cardiovascular system diseases, which could also explain the relation between psoriasis and cardiovascular complications and their severity in psoriatic patients.
