Overview
Laboratory findings consistent with the diagnosis of psoriasis include increased levels of Long Pentraxin 3 protein (PTX3) and elevated complement levels.
Laboratory Findings
Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)
- In patients with severe psoriasis, increased levels of Long Pentraxin 3 protein (PTX3) can be observed in plasma and in monocytic cultures by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).[1]
Serum complement levels
The following abnormalities of serum complement levels may be observed in cases of psoriasis:[2]
- Increased serum IgA
- Increased C3 in phalyngeal arthropathy associated with psoriasis
- Increased C4
- Increased C3PA concentrations
- Increased CRP concentration in sacroiliitis associated with psoriasis
