Psoriasis

Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune disease that interferes in the life cycle of skin cells and results in the accumulation of cells on the surface of the skin. It forms red, dry, scaly patches on the skin. These patches cause pain and irritation. The formation of patches takes place commonly on scalp, genitalia, ears and the skin over a bony projection.

The symptoms of Psoriasismay show variation from person to person. The common symptoms of Psoriasis are red, scaly, dry patches, cracked skin, pitted or thickened nails, swelling and hardening of joints, etc.

The specific cause of psoriasisis not known but several factors like genetic, environmental and abnormal functioning of immune system can cause Psoriasis. Some of the triggering factors are any skin injury, throat or skin infection, smoking, stress and depression , vitamin D deficiency, etc.

Due to the over activation of our immune system, overproduction of Tumor Necrosis Factor (can be a product of T-cells) and other white blood cells takes place which is the main cause of psoriasis.

What are Enbrel injections?

Enbrel or Etanercept is a Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF) inhibitor.. This injection improves our immune system so prescribed for the treatment of autoimmune disease.

How does Enbrel injection work?

Enbrel works on our immune system and interferes in the overproduction of Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF). TNF is a protein which is produced by the immune system and helps the body to fight against various infections. But in autoimmune disorders, the immune system causes overproduction of Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF) which leads to the body's abnormal defensive response.

So by blocking the action of TNF, Enbrel injections control the body's exaggerated defensive response.

How does Enbrel injection work on Psoriasis?

Psoriasis is associated with the immune system and occurs due to the overproduction of T-cells. Enbrel injections inhibit this overproduction of cells.
