Prevalence, characteristics and severity of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in patients with chronic plaque psoriasis
Abstract
Background/aims The association between NAFLD and psoriasis has never been explored in prospective epidemiological studies. The aim of this 2-phase study was to study the clinical features of NAFLD in patients with psoriasis.Methods Phase 1: Investigation of prevalence and characteristics of NAFLD in an unselected cohort of 142 adult Italian outpatients with psoriasis vulgaris. Phase 2: Comparison of the psoriasis cohort subgroup with NAFLD and an age- and body mass index-matched retrospective cohort of 125 non-psoriasis patients with biopsy proven NAFLD.Results Based on histories, laboratory tests, and ultrasound studies, 84 (59.2%) received clinical diagnosis of NAFLD; 30 had factors potentially associated with liver disease other than NAFLD (e.g., viral hepatitis, significant ethanol, methotrexate use); and 28 (19.7%) had normal livers. Comparison of the normal-liver and NAFLD subgroups revealed that NAFLD in psoriasis patients (Ps-NAFLD) was significantly correlated with metabolic syndrome (p<0.05); obesity (p=0.043); hypercholesterolemia (p=0.029); hypertriglyceridemia (p<0.001); AST/ALT ratio >1 (p=0.019), and psoriatic arthritis (PsA) (p=0.036). The association with PsA remained significant after logistic regression analysis (OR=3.94 [CI, 1.07-14.46]). Compared with the retrospective non-psoriatic NAFLD cohort (controls), Ps-NAFLD patients (cases) were likely to have severe NAFLD reflected by non-invasive NAFLD Fibrosis Scores and AST/ALT >1.Conclusions NAFLD is highly prevalent among psoriasis patients, where it is closely associated with obesity (overall and abdominal), metabolic syndrome, and PsA, and more likely to cause severe liver fibrosis (compared with nonPs-NAFLD). Routine work-up for NAFLD may be warranted in patients with psoriasis, especially when potentially hepatotoxic drug therapy is being considered.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
