Abstract

The etiopathogenesis of psoriasis is still unclear. Associations between gut and skin diseases are well known, since psoriatic patients show a high prevalence of coeliac disease. Small-bowel abnormalities can cause clinical or, more frequently, laboratory alterations that give rise to malabsorption. The aim of the study was to evaluate the prevalence of malabsorption in psoriatic patients.
