Serum calprotectin correlates with risk and disease severity in psoriasis patients and the decrease of calprotectin predicts better response to tumor necrosis factor inhibitors

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to investigate the correlation of serum calprotectin expression with risk and severity of psoriasis, as well as its predictive value for clinical response to tumor necrosis factor inhibitors (TNFi) treatment in psoriasis patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS: 72 psoriasis patients and 70 health controls (HCs) were enrolled. Blood samples were collected, and … Continue reading Serum calprotectin correlates with risk and disease severity in psoriasis patients and the decrease of calprotectin predicts better response to tumor necrosis factor inhibitors
