Psoriasis patients have higher risk of kidney disease

[glenda grant]

So is this study saying its psoriasis that gives an increased risk of kidney disease.... Or is it the the drugs used to control psoriasis that cause the disease. I would imagine it's the latter its difficult to prove but the fact that the more severe the psoriasis .... The higher dose of drugs are used .... And a greater incidence of kidney disease... That's how I read it.

Jim I agree some of the meds and biologics could lead to kidney disease.I was told my kidneys are at 54% and i have to watch what kind of pills I take.I can only take tylenol and never more than two in one day.Never to take advil and such as they advertise on TV.Also my Dr told me i can never have radio-active dye could destroy my kidneys'I was reading that the psoriasis attacks our inside organs as well as our skin.I also have liver issues high liver count and have never been a drinker.Maybe i should start.This is such a horrible disease.I take a dose of 50 mg Enbrel every Sat.If I don't take it I can hardly walk.So it's do or die .
