Abstract

Introduction: Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease mediated by the immune system, associated with comorbidities. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is defined as an excessive accumulation of triglycerides in hepatocytes and includes a wide spectrum of liver conditions ranging from relatively benign steatosis to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis with fatty infiltration and lobular inflammation and even cirrhosis and liver disease in final stage. Justification: Contribute to the clinical management of patients who have psoriasis and NAFLD, as there is no study in the Northeast that addresses this issue that can generate data that result and the application of public health action programs to improve the propaedeutics and evaluation of patients. Objectives: To know the prevalence of NAFLD in patients with psoriasis treated at a Psoriasis Reference Center. Methodology: Observational, descriptive study in which the prevalence of NAFLD will be studied in patients with psoriasis treated at a Psoriasis Reference Center. Data collection will be done from the Sector Database
