Abstract
Psoriasis is an autoimmune-mediated disease with several comorbidities in addition to typical skin lesions. Increasing evidence shows the relationships between psoriasis and renal functions, but the relationship and causality remain unclear. We aimed to investigate the associations and causality between psoriasis and four renal functions, including the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), urine albumin to creatinine ratio (UACR), and chronic kidney disease (CKD). For the population-based study, we analyzed the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) data from five cycles (2003-2006 and 2009-2014) on psoriasis and renal functions. Subgroup analyses were conducted among different categories of participants. Meanwhile, a bidirectional two-sample Mendelian randomization (TSMR) study in European populations was also performed using summary-level genetic datasets. Causal effects were derived by conducting an inverse-variance weighted (MR-IVW) method. A series of pleiotropy-robust MR methods was employed to validate the robustness. Multivariable MR (MVMR) was conducted to complement the result when five competing risk factors were considered. A total of 20,244 participants were enrolled in the cross-sectional study, where 2.6% of them had psoriasis. In the fully adjusted model, participants with psoriasis had significantly lower eGFR (p = 0.025) compared with the healthy group. Individuals who are nonoverweight are more likely to be affected by psoriasis, leading to an elevation of BUN (Pint = 0.018). In the same line, TSMR showed a negative association between psoriasis and eGFR (p = 0.016), and sensitive analysis also consolidated the finding. No causality was identified between psoriasis and other renal functions, as well as the inverse causality (p > 0.05). The MVMR method further provided quite consistent results when adjusting five confounders (p = 0.042). We detected a significant negative effect of psoriasis on eGFR, with marginal association between BUN, UACR, and CKD. The adverse of psoriasis on the renal should merit further attention in clinical cares.

Abstract
Psoriasis is a common chronic inflammatory skin disease that manifests itself not only on the skin but also on various tissues and organs of the body. While some psoriasis co-morbidities have been investigated, little is known about its association with impairment of renal function. In 2005, the concept of psoriatic nephropathy was first introduced by Indian nephrologists, suggesting a potential relationship between psoriasis and kidney disease. Adalimumab, a fully human recombinant immunoglobulin G1 monoclonal antibody against tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, has been shown to be a safe and effective treatment for patients with moderate to severe psoriasis. Here, we present a case of severe plaque psoriasis accompanied with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) treated with adalimumab. Following the case presentation is a discussion of the relationship between psoriasis and chronic kidney disease (CKD) / ESRD and the possible role of biologics in psoriasis-related kidney damage. The aim of this report is to increase dermatologists' awareness of psoriatic nephropathy as a complication of psoriasis and to raise awareness of the use of biologics in psoriasis.

Abstract
Background and objective Previous studies have shown that patients with psoriasis are at higher risk of developing chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end-stage renal disease (ESRD) compared with general population; however, data on the differences in the occurrence of CKD and ESRD between patients with psoriasis and non-psoriatic controls are limited and inconsistent. The aim of this study was to carry out a comparison of the probability of suffering CKD and ESRD in patients with or without psoriasis by conducting a meta-analysis of cohort studies. Methods Cohort studies on PubMed, Web of Science, Embase and Cochrane Library by March, 2023 were searched for. The studies were screened according to pre-established inclusion criteria. Hazard ratios (HRs) and a 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for the renal outcomes among patients with psoriasis were calculated using the random-effect, generic inverse variance method. Subgroup analysis was related to the severity of psoriasis. Results A total of seven retrospective cohort studies were included, including 738,104 psoriasis patients and 3,443,438 non-psoriasis subjects, published from 2013 to 2020. Compared to controls without psoriasis, patients with psoriasis had an increased risk of CKD and ESRD, with pooled hazard ratios of 1.65 (95% CI, 1.29-2.12) and 1.37 (95% CI, 1.14-1.64), respectively. Besides, the incidence of CKD and ESRD is positively correlated with the severity of psoriasis. Conclusion This study showed that compared to patients without psoriasis, patients with psoriasis, especially those with severe psoriasis, had a significantly increased risk of developing CKD and ESRD. Considering the limitations of this meta-analysis, more high-quality and well-designed studies are needed in the future to validate our findings.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Off-label uses of biologics in the treatment of psoriasis are usually implemented in limited-resource settings and studies regarding their response profiles are limited. METHOD This was a retrospective study performed in moderate-to-severe plaque-type psoriasis patients who had been treated with either secukinumab, ixekizumab or brodalumab at a university hospital in Thailand between 1 January 2017 and 1 April 2021. RESULTS A total of 142 patients were included in the data analysis consisting of three groups of 48 patients, 86 patients, and 8 patients treated by secukinumab, ixekizumab, and brodalumab, respectively. Patients were then classified into five groups according to the dosing pattern they received; on-label, off-label with induction, off-label with specific pattern, off-label with irregular dosing interval <8 weeks and >8 weeks. Considering both secukinumab and ixekizumab, the adjusted hazard ratios (95%CI) for complete skin clearance of the four off-label regimens were 2.2(0.9-5.2), 1.9 (0.9-3.9), 1.0 (0.4-2.2), and 1.6 (0.7-3.6), compared to on-label regimen, respectively. In each biologic drug, almost all off-label dosing regimens demonstrated higher adjusted hazard ratios compared to on-label regimen. CONCLUSION Off-label, patient-oriented regimens could be a promising choice of IL-17 inhibitors for administration in special settings. Off-label regimens are not inferior in terms of skin clearance to an on-label regimen in the efficacy of psoriasis treatment of secukinumab and ixekizumab but do cause more flares. The decision to use off-label regimens must account for the benefits and associated risks.

Abstract
Psoriasis is a representative inflammatory skin disease occupied by large surface involvement. As inflammatory cells and cytokines can systemically circulate in various organs, it has been speculated that psoriatic skin inflammation influences the systemic dysfunction of various organs. Recent updates of clinical studies and experimental studies showed the important interaction of psoriasis to systemic inflammatory diseases. Furthermore, the importance of systemic therapy in severe psoriasis is also highlighted to prevent the development of systemic inflammatory diseases. In this review, we introduced representative systemic inflammatory diseases associated with psoriasis and the detailed molecular mechanisms.
