Abstract

Recent studies have shown that psoriasis is related to angiogenesis-dependent diseases since the activation of T-lymphocytes leads to a marked expansion of the skin capillaries damaged skin. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is one of the powerful promoter of angiogenesis.

The aim of the research was to study the VEGF level in the serum of patients with various manifestations of vulgaris plaques psoriasis.

Metods of research. We observed 35 patients with psoriasis at the age of 19–44 years. The clinical picture was characterized by limited (31.4 %) and dissemination (68.6 %) skin process, plaques rash, staying in the progressive (57.1 %) and stationary (42.9 %) stages. PASI ranged from 7.8 to 23.6 points (on average – 14.6±0.7 points). Patients with relapsed more than two times per year are dominated.

VEGF level was determined in the serum by ELISA. Statistical analysis of the results was performed using non-parametric methods and parametric statistics.

Results. VEGF revealed an increase in blood of patients with psoriasis 3.4–7.9 times (p<0.05) relative to the index in the control group. The degree of VEGF changes depended on the stage, the prevalence, severity and frequency of recurrence of the psoriasis.

Conclusions. VEGF levels in the blood increased significantly more in the advanced stage, when the process of propagation, severe and frequent relapses psoriasis (more than two times per year) compared to the same in the stationary phase, a limited process of mild to moderate severity, recurrences 1–2 times per year. Pathogenetic significance of the main angiogenic factors in psoriasis confirms the correlation between VEGF and the clinical manifestations of the disease
