Psoriasis (also known as plaque psoriasis) was formerly considered a purely skin disease. Research has since shown that psoriasis is now regarded as a systemic disease. That means that in moderate to severe psoriasis not only the skin can be affected. Possible comorbidities include psoriatic arthritis, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes mellitus or obesity. Furthermore, it can lead to inflammatory bowel diseases, tumors, pulmonary diseases (issues with blood pressure or the lungs) or to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Patients with psoriasis also have an increased risk of psychiatric burdens, such as depression or anxiety disorders.
