Coagulopathy of Immunodermatologic Diseases The Molecular, Prognostic, and Therapeutic Implications of Crosstalk Between Coagulation, Fibrinolysis, and Inflammation in Immune-Mediated Skin Diseases
University of Nebraska
Summary
This study will examine the coagulation and fibrinolysis profiles of those with autoimmune skin diseases. Blood samples will be collected from participants with active/poorly controlled immune-mediated skin diseases and mild/latent/well-controlled immune-mediated skin diseases. A one-time sample from 15 general dermatology outpatients who do not have a known or suspected diagnosis of bullous diseases, immune-mediated dermatologic condition, or cutaneous malignancy will also be collected to serve as control. Blood samples from both participant populations will be analyzed for coagulation and inflammatory markers and compared. The results of this study may help inform future studies on the utility of analyzing coagulation and fibrinolysis profiles of patients with autoimmune skin diseases.
Description
The purpose of this study is to examine the coagulation and fibrinolysis profiles of those with autoimmune skin diseases. This will be accomplished by collecting blood samples from participants with both active/poorly controlled immune-mediated skin diseases and mild/latent/well-controlled immune-mediated skin diseases. A one-time sample will be collected from 15 general dermatology outpatients who do not have a known or suspected diagnosis of bullous diseases, immune-mediated dermatologic condition, or cutaneous malignancy to serve as the control population.
