Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study aimed to evaluate serum IL-6 levels in plaque psoriasis patients and investigate their correlation with disease severity.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Psoriasis is a chronic, immune-mediated inflammatory dermatological condition that impacts around 0.2% to 4.8% of the worldwide population.

Interleukin (IL)-6 is a pleiotropic cytokine that regulates immunity, hematopoiesis, and inflammation. It is produced by keratinocytes, endothelial cells, fibroblasts, and immune cells like macrophages and dendritic cells. Increased IL-6 expression has been observed in psoriatic lesions, suggesting its involvement in disease pathogenesis
