Hi all.  From browsing seems the liver plays a roll in Psoriasis.  And also obesity (me) + more.   My annual blood test at my local doctor always comes back with a highlight that it is in poor shape.

So what is needed to get my liver reading back to 'healthy'?

Wow, AaLF, that is a difficult question.
It must be possible I guess, and I would use the diet for that. Bad for the liver are (unfortunately) alcohol, so dump that, and fatty things, so switch to food with way less fat. Will also do you obesity very good.

But by far the most important thing you will need is character-power...... reducing alcohol, less fat, more exercise is extremely difficult to change to. Advantage of more exercise is that you gradually will feel fitter and if you succeed in at a certain point really go to the gym and exhaust yourself, then you get the bonus of endomorfines also !!

The liver will repair itself however I think that it's not so much that P damages the liver but a lot of the treatments have the potential to do damage to it.

Oh, yes, and I would discuss the matter with the doctor and perhaps visit a dietist.

Depends on the condition of the liver and what is wrong with it - there is medication for it. While psoriasis or the disease itself can damage the liver it's rare. There are other diseases such lupus or diabetes where liver problems are more common. Liver disease in psoriasis patients is typically caused by medication such as methotrexate.
