Inflammatory skin diseases associated with risk of CKD: Study
Atopic eczema, psoriasis, and hidradenitis suppurativa are significantly tied with stages 3-5 of chronic kidney disease (CKD), as per a new study published in the British Journal of Dermatology.
Emerging evidence suggests an association between common inflammatory skin diseases and chronic kidney disease (CKD). A group of researchers conducted a study to explore the association between CKD stages 3–5 (CKD3–5) and atopic eczema, psoriasis, rosacea and hidradenitis suppurativa.
The researchers undertook two complementary analyses; a prevalent case–control study and a cohort study using routinely collected primary care data [UK Clinical Practice Research Datalink (CPRD)]. We matched individuals with CKD3–5 in CPRD in March 2018 with up to five individuals without CKD for general practitioner practice, age and sex. We compared the prevalence of CKD3–5 among individuals with and without each inflammatory skin disease. We included individuals in CPRD with diabetes mellitus (2004–2018) in a cohort analysis to compare the incidence of CKD3–5 among people with and without atopic eczema and psoriasis.
