Psoriasis Theories are the concepts which try to explain the Reasons for Psoriasis Appearance. Psoriasis can not be explained by any single theory. At the basis of psoriasis there lies a complexity of various interacting factors.
Each of the Psoriasis Theories below is based on the clinical observations and the results of the laboratory tests.
The following Psoriasis Theories are presently the most reliable:
- Genetic Psoriasis Theory
Genetic Psoriasis Theory is based on multiple cases of family history of psoriasis. Psoriasis can often be found in up to 6 generations of one family.
- Autoimmune Psoriasis Theory
Autoimmune Psoriasis Theory is based on an assumption that certain antigens (foreign substances that can stimulate an immune response in the body) may trigger an Autoimmune Aggression in the body, and the Immune System starts attacking and tries to kill the body's own cells.
- Metabolic Psoriasis Theory
Metabolic Psoriasis Theory is based on the data testifying about various metabolism disorders in the people with psoriasis, changes in the DNA and RNA, the regression of psoriasis during low-fat diet etc.
- Hormones and Psoriasis Theory
Hormones and Psoriasis Theory is based on the flare-ups of psoriasis during menstruation; an improvement in the flow of psoriasis, and even a complete recovery during pregnancy etc.
- Nervous System and Psoriasis Theory
Nervous System and Psoriasis Theory is based on psoriasis appearance after stress and on the data that people with psoriasis frequently have functional disorders of the Nervous System.
- Infection and Psoriasis Theory
Infection and Psoriasis Theory is based on the connection of psoriasis with a focal infection in the tonsils, the inflammation of the nose cavities and eardrum, the inflammation of the uterine appendages, the inflammation of the prostate gland etc.
- Virus and Psoriasis Theory
Virus and Psoriasis Theory is based on an assumption that a certain virus (retrovirus) may be an agent that provokes psoriasis.
- Toxins and Psoriasis Theory
Toxins and Psoriasis Theory is based on an assumption that toxins contained in certain foods and medications can penetrate through the bowels and into the blood and lymph flow and then to be excreted through skin causing the appearance of psoriatic lesions.
- Antioxidant Psoriasis Theory
Antioxidant Psoriasis Theory is based on an assumption that the people with psoriasis are better protected from the reactive oxygen forms than the people without psoriasis, which causes an inflammatory psoriatic reaction as an unfortunate side-affect.
It is impossible to isolate only one factor being the Reason for Psoriasis Appearance, therefore the most reliable Psoriasis Theories deserve a more in-depth discussion and analysis. Click on the above links in order to find out about each Psoriasis Theory in more detail.
