Аннотация

Background. Psoriasis is a persistent inflammation that leads to an excessive growth of cells. Vitamins are crucial for maintaining the health of the skin.

Purpose. Study the relationship between vitamins and psoriasis.

Methods. A randomized clinical trial was carried out in Basrah , Iraq. Specimens were obtained from the Al-Faihaa Hospital and the Basrah Teaching Hospital. The analytical sample consisted of 45 individuals diagnosed with psoriasis and 45 persons who were in good condition. Their data were collected based on age, gender, disease severity, treatment, and geographical area,  we conducted an analysis of the samples using several ELISA device measurements .

Results. The study revealed notable disparities in the levels of vitamin C and vitamin D, with statistically significant differences at a significance level of p<0.001. Additionally, there was a significant difference in the levels of vitamin E, with a significance level of p<0.01. The data did not indicate any variations in vitamin A levels, save for a discrepancy based on geographical location. The findings indicated a decline in vitamin E levels among male patients and a reduction in vitamin D levels among female patients. There is a positive relationship between the variables C, E and C, D. The results did not indicate any impact on the concentration of vitamins based on the severity of the condition and the method of treatment.

Conclusions. It is imperative to administer vitamins (C, D, and E) to individuals with psoriasis, in order to prevent the exacerbation of symptoms and the development of other ailments.
