Hepatitis C and psoriasis

by Emma1108, Jun 06, 2009 04:09AM

I was wondering if anyone could give me some information about any links between hepatitis C and psoriasis. I was diagnosed with Hep C 2 years ago (genotype 1a) and have not had any treatment. I recently have been diagnosed with psoriasis. Does Hepatitis C cause psoriasis? Thanks

Both Hep C and psoriasis are associated with insulin resistance.

I don't know for sure, but it is quite common that people with HCV also have some skin disorder.

It can approve if you eliminate the virus.

I am not a doc, just from reading lot of stuff and some own experience.

yes, psoriasis is a sx of hep C as well as the tx for hep C. I have read some abstracts to the contrary but more studies that are in agreement.
