Research Article: The Combination of IL-, PLR and Nail Psoriasis: Screen for the Early Diagnosis of Psoriatic Arthritis
Abstract:
Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is an immune-mediated inflammatory disease affecting joints and entheses, and is strongly associated with psoriasis. The majority of patients, approximately % to .%, experience psoriasis prior to the onset of arthritis by a span of to years.– This lag time creates a unique opportunity, particularly for dermatologists, to identify patients with an increased risk for developing PsA. Unfortunately, a delay in diagnosing PsA by months resulted in a higher chance of peripheral erosive disease and poorer physical function. Consequently, early screening or timely prediction of PsA are crucial. Non-rheumatologists may encounter challenges in accurately identifying PsA or inflammatory joint disease at the early stage. Screening for PsA markers among patients with psoriasis may aid in identifying the onset of PsA as early as possible. However, the specific early biomarkers for PsA remain unclear.
