New research strongly suggests the hormone hepcidin may trigger the onset of psoriasis.
Hepcidin is responsible for regulating iron levels in the body.
In healthy individuals, it’s produced exclusively in the liver, but in people with psoriatic patients, the hormone is also generated in the skin.
This is the first time the hormone has been considered a potential causal factor.
The identification of hepcidin as an important factor in the development of the disease opens doors to potential new treatments.
Dr William Tillett , a consultant rheumatologist specialising in the diagnosis and treatment of psoriatic arthritis, said: “This research from Dr Pourzand and colleagues is an exciting step forward for people living with psoriasis and for the clinical teams treating them.
