Adrenocorticotropin/cortisol ratio - a marker of psoriasis severity.

Conclusions: Our results support the role of HPA axis dysfunction in the complex pathogenesis of psoriasis, showing a positive correlation between morning ACTH/cortisol ratio and disease severity. ACTH/cortisol ratio can be regarded as a new biochemical marker of psoriasis severity worth further studies. PMID: 33240015 [PubMed]
