Comorbidity in Adult Psoriasis: Considerations for the Clinician

Psoriasis is associated with several comorbidities ranging from cardiovascular comorbidity and mental disorders to other immune mediated inflammatory diseases. However, most of these co-morbidities are often overlooked or diagnosed late. Furthermore, evidence suggests that comorbidities are undertreated. Here, we provide an overview of comorbidities in psoriasis and present a simple rundown of considerations of relevance to the clinician. We hope that this review may raise clinicians' awareness of comorbidities in psoriasis and provide simple guidance regarding screening tools and treatment decisions in psoriasis with comorbidities.
