Abstract

ABSTRACT: Psoriasis is a common, inflammatory disease that can significantly impact patients' quality of life and well-being. In recent years, psoriasis has been found to be associated with several comorbidities including psoriatic arthritis, cardiovascular disease, metabolic conditions, mental health disorders, and other inflammatory disorders. This article reviews current literature about emerging comorbidities and provides screening recommendations based on available evidence in an effort to improve the overall management of psoriatic patients.
