BACKGROUND: Psoriasis is associated with an increased risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD). Methotrexate (MTX) is often used as a first-line system therapy and there is a need to determine its effect on whole blood viscosity (WBV) and plasma viscosity (PV) in psoriasis. METHODS: A prospective, single-center, interventional study with a total of 111 psoriatic patients who received MTX therapy from October 22, 2018, to December 28, 2019, and 111 age- and sex-matched healthy controls. Changes in WBV, PV, blood counts, liver and renal function were evaluated. RESULTS: Psoriatic patients had significantly higher levels of WBV and relative viscosity (RV) at low shear rate (LSR), erythrocyte aggregation index (EAI), and PV than sex and age-matched healthy controls. PV was positively correlated with erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), ESR was positively correlated with high sensitive C-reactive protein (hCRP). But only hCRP was positively associated with psoriasis area severity index (PASI) score. MTX significantly decreased the levels of PV, ESR, hCRP, and blood pressure (BP) in male patients, and the level of WBV in female patients. CONCLUSION: Sex-specific downregulation of MTX on WBV, PV, hCRP, and BP, indicating that the effect of MTX on the risk of cardiovascular disease was related with sex. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
