Core Tip
Core tip: The review focuses on recent scientific data regarding the multiple physio-pathogenetic aspects of the possible link between psoriasis, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and cardiovascular disease. The multidisciplinary approach to psoriatic patients appears mandatory to treat concomitant psoriasis-related comorbidity, and the risk/benefit of both biologic and non-biologic therapies should be evaluated.
