Is psoriasis an independent risk factor of renal disease? A nationwide retrospective cohort study from 1996 to 2010

Conclusion Psoriasis is an independent risk factor of chronic renal failure and ESRD. Cyclosporin, a commonly used antipsoriatic agent, does not significantly increase the risk of renal disease in patients with psoriasis. Further studies with larger sample size are indicated to validate this result.
