Psoriasis Linked to High Blood Pressure
May 5th, 2009 by admin
Researchers have found a link between psoriasis and high blood pressure in women because of the inflammation that causes the skin condition. It also showed a link to diabetes. Those that had psoriasis were 63% more likely to develop diabetes and 17% more likely to develop hypertension that those who do not have the skin disease. Currently the only real therapy for psoriasis is steroids which can foster diabetes and high blood pressure, but researchers say most patients stop using the creams after a short time of use.
