PASI, BSA of cases was calculated and BMI, BP, WC of all subjects was measured. Serum lipid profile, FBS, PPBS, insulin level, IL1- \u03b2, IL6, TNF- \u03b1, high frequency B-mode ultrasound, LFT and fibroscan were done in all subjects.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results:<\/jats:title>\n 28(56.0%) cases and 2(6.6%) controls had NAFLD with statistically significant difference. Significantly elevated WC, serum insulin, deranged lipid profile, fatty liver, transaminitis, fibroscan score, liver fibrosis, NAFLD and interleukins were found in cases vs controls. There was a significant association of NAFLD in psoriatic patients with increasing duration of psoriasis, BMI \u226523 Kg\/m2, high WC, increasing BSA involved, deranged lipid profile, raised total cholesterol levels and increasing number of risk factors. Nonsignificant but positive association of NAFLD in cases was found with high levels of IL1 \u2013 \u03b2, IL \u2013 6, TNF-\u03b1, FBS and increasing PASI.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n Significantly increased interleukin levels and their weak positive correlation with the severity of psoriasis (PASI, BSA) in patients of chronic plaque psoriasis explains the possible role of inflammation in the causation of psoriasis. Screening may be considered in psoriatic patients with increasing duration of psoriasis, high WC, high BSA involved, high BMI, obesity, dyslipidemia and insulin resistance.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n
