Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune and inflammatory disease affecting 2–4% of the population. To date, psoriasis has been regarded as a systemic disease closely related to numerous cardiometabolic disorders, especially metabolic syndrome (MS), which affects 20–60% of psoriatic. People with psoriasis have a shortened life expectancy, mainly due to cardiovascular diseases and increased relative risk of mortality in comparison to the general population, which correlates with the severity of the disease. The multidirectional relationship of psoriasis with various comorbidities is translated by common genetic or immunological inflammation, but especially with systemic metabolically driven inflammation, which is crucial in psoriasis pathogenesis and leads to the development of atherosclerosis, insulin resistance, and further cardiometabolic complications. There have been continuous research efforts searching for novel markers and metabolites to evaluate or screen for cardiometabolic risk in order to enable early detection, followed by more effective and newer therapeutic interventions.
This Special Issue, “Psoriasis and Metabolic Syndrome”, will present the current knowledge on psoriasis and its metabolic comorbidities, with a special emphasis on the newest contexts of the pathogenesis, treatment and validation of innovative potential markers to give readers a deeper understanding of these complex interrelations.
