The reasons behind the connection are fully understood if we think like Homeopaths, there are many possibilities:
- Migrated psoriasis release inflammatory proteins into our blood, which causes insulin resistance in the liver, liver becomes inflamed, which in turn causes further skin inflammations.
- Certain allopathic medications used to treat psoriasis cause liver problems (their side effects) – they increase liver enzyme levels (methotrexate, cyclosporine, and acitretin).
- A person with psoriasis may have risk factors that also raise their risk for liver disease, such as genetic risks, alcohol intake, obesity, and metabolic syndrome.
Diagnosis
Hepatologists or gastroenterologists are the types of specialists who may diagnose liver disease. In many types of liver disease patient may not feel any symptoms. If one does, they may include:
To diagnose liver disease, a doctor will perform a physical exam and run a few tests, these may include:
- Liver enzyme tests: These blood tests measure various enzyme levels (liver damage). Some common liver enzymes include alanine transaminase (ALT), aspartate transaminase (AST), and gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT).
- Liver protein tests: These blood tests measure certain proteins made in the liver, including albumin and globulin. The tests can show how well the liver is functioning.
- Bilirubin tests: These blood tests measure bilirubin. High levels of bilirubin in the blood can mean the liver is damaged.
- Transient elastography: This is a special ultrasound test that measures liver stiffness, which indicates scarring (fibrosis).
- Magnetic resonance elastography (MRE): This imaging test combines ultrasound or MRI to measure stiffness.
- Biopsy (tiny sample from liver for further testing) Usually, a biopsy is only recommended if other tests indicate advanced liver disease or if it’s necessary to rule out cancer or other conditions.
Dermatologist will diagnose psoriasis. They’ll examine the skin for symptoms including:
- Patches of thick, itchy skin.
- Skin with silvery, gray-white scales.
- Skin that is itchy, dry, cracked, or bleeding.
- Thickening, pits, or ridges in nails.
Ask your patient about his medical history and other symptoms, such as:
- Pain, swelling, or stiffness in the joints.
- Close relatives with psoriasis.
- Recent illnesses or stressful life events.
In some cases, do a biopsy of the skin. This can confirm whether patient has psoriasis and not another skin condition.
Allopathic treatment for psoriasis and liver
Treatment depends on the type of liver disease patient has and the severity of his psoriasis and/or liver symptoms.
For nonalcoholic fatty liver, the primary treatment is weight management. If patient has cirrhosis, an allopathic doctor may recommend medicines or surgery to treat complications only. In the case of liver failure, the liver transplant is the only choice.
Psoriasis is often treated with topical and systemic medications, as well as light therapy. Medical guidelines for psoriasis management recommend close monitoring if patient take systemic drugs, such as methotrexate, as this may mean that patient is at higher risk for liver toxicity.
If psoriasis allopathic treatment affects liver function, doctor should recommend a different therapy or refer to a Homeopathic doctor.
Both psoriasis and liver conditions are known to benefit from the following:
- Maintaining a weight that’s healthy for you.
- Avoiding smoking.
- Avoiding consumption of alcohol.
- Having a nutritious diet that’s low in processed foods and processed oils and white sugars.
- Keeping physically active.
