Abstract

Recent data suggest that severe psoriasis is an independent risk factor for chronic renal disease. In the present study, we investigated the role of related-purine derivatives as predictors of renal dysfunctions in patients with psoriasis. A prospective study was conducted on a group of 45 patients with psoriasis vulgaris and 45 control cases, monitored over a 5-year period. Alterations of renal function, albumin/creatinine ratio (ACR, mg/g) and UA/creatinine ratio (UACR, mg/mg) were determined in spontaneous urine samples. The status of related-purine derivatives was evaluated by quantification of uric acid (UA, mg/dl), adenosine deaminase (ADA, UI/mg protein), xanthine oxidase (XO, UI/mg protein) and 8-hydroxy-deoxy-guanosine levels (8-OHdG, ng/ml) in serum samples. Compared to the controls, in patients with psoriasis there was an increase in related-purine derivatives levels, which was demonstrated by the elevated serum levels of UA (5.1±0.4 vs. 5.4±1.0, P=0.066), ADA (0.14±0.08 vs. 0.29±0.12, P=0.052), XO (0.22±0.11 vs. 0.42±0.21, P=0.011) and 8-OHdG (3.1±0.05 vs. 8.3±4.7, P=0.002). The serum levels of related-purine derivatives were associated with the severity of psoriasis. In addition, there was a link between the serum levels of related-purine derivatives and markers of renal impairment. There were positive correlations between 8-OHdG and ACR (r=0.452, P=0.028) and between ADA, XO, UA, 8-OHdG and UACR (r=0.297 and P=0.032, r=0.301 and P=0.002, r=0.431 and P=0.027, r=0.508 and P=0.002) and negative correlations between UA, 8-OHdG and the estimated glomerular filtration rate (r=-0.301 and P=0.036, r=-0.384 and P=0.002). Thus, severe psoriasis is a risk factor for the development of renal disease.
