Popis: | Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is an inflammatory arthritis associated with psoriasis and inflammation involving the axial skeleton and/or peripheral joints. It is more likely to be associated with metabolic syndrome and diabetes when compared with other inflammatory arthritides. Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) is one of several cytokines often elevated in rheumatologic disorders including PsA and has also been found to be elevated in patients with obesity, metabolic syndrome, diabetes, and/or atherosclerotic disease. We describe the case of a patient with PsA as well as poorly controlled type 2 diabetes mellitus who experienced not only improvement in his psoriasis and arthritis with the anti-TNF-α agent etanercept but also recurrent hypoglycemia and significant improvement in hemoglobin A1c despite discontinuation of all conventional therapy for diabetes. |
