Psoriasis is a chronic, immune-mediated inflammatory skin disease that affects approximately 2
3% of the global population and is increasingly recognized as a systemic disorder with several
comorbidities, including diabetes mellitus and chronic renal disease. Diabetes itself is a well
established risk factor for renal impairment, and the co-existence of psoriasis may further
exacerbate renal dysfunction due to systemic inflammation and metabolic stress. This study aims
to evaluate the association between chronic renal disease and psoriasis in patients already
diagnosed with diabetes mellitus. A prospective observational study was conducted over a six
month period in the dermatology and medicine departments of Rama Medical College Hospital,
Hapur. A total of 120 diabetic patients were enrolled and divided into two groups: 60 patients with
a clinical diagnosis of psoriasis (Group A) and 60 diabetic patients without psoriasis as controls
(Group B).
