Effect of low-calorie diet on psoriasis severity index, triglycerides, liver enzymes, and quality of life in psoriatic patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Chronic-plaque psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory dermatological disease. Obesity comorbidities, including non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, are highly prevalent in patients with chronic-plaque psoriasis. Recently, weight loss has been a highly recommended intervention to improve the severity of psoriatic symptoms, psoriasis-induced chronic systemic inflammation, psoriasis-associated cardiovascular risk factors, quality of life, and the efficacy of anti-psoriatic drugs. This study was designed to assess the effect of a 12-week low-calorie-diet intervention on aspartate transaminase, psoriasis severity (assessed via Psoriasis Area and Severity Index - PASI), alanine transaminase, quality of life (assessed via Dermatology Life Quality Index - DLQI), triglycerides, wais
