Abstract

Objective To determine the frequency of dyslipidaemia in patients with plaque psoriasis in Lady Reading hospital Peshawar Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Methods This cross sectional study was carried out in the department of Dermatology lady reading hospital Peshawar Khyber Pakhtunkhwa from 1st February 2018 to 30th July 2018.

Dyslipidaemia was present in 30.3% of patients with 8.1percent patients showing high triglycerides. Low Density Lipoprotein was high in 3% patients and 25.3% showed high total cholesterol. Conclusion Patients with plaque psoriasis may have dyslipidaemia. Chances of having dyslipidaemia in psoriatic patients increases with increased duration of disease.
