About
The prevalence of cardiovascular risk in psoriasis has been reported in previous studies.Various studies have also shown that systemic treatments for psoriasis, including methotrexate, may significantly decrease this cardiovascular risk. We proposed that the addition of vitamin D may not only improve the therapeutic effect of various treatment modalities but also increase its effect on decreasing the cardiovascular risk in psoriasis. So our aim of work is to assess the Clinical improvement and cardiovascular risks in psoriatic patients after treatment with methotrexate alone with the dose of 0.2-0.5 mg/kg/week for three months in comparison to combined methotrexate with the same dose and vitamin D injection with the dose of 200,000 IU per month for 3 months.
Each patient will do the following before starting treatment& after 3 months:
