Serum level of receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa‐B ligand in patients with psoriasis

Abstract

Serum RANKL level could be considered as a useful diagnostic marker for the early prediction of psoriatic arthritis in patients with moderate and severe psoriasis. Assessment of soluble RANKL in psoriasis could identify those at increased risk for psoriatic arthritis, and anti-RANKL agents may be effective in decreasing incidence of psoriatic arthritis.
