Abstract

Psoriasis is an immune‐mediated chronic inflammatory skin disease and chronic kidney disease is one of the common comorbidities of psoriasis. Ixekizumab, a humanized IgG4 monoclonal antibody, has been approved for the treatment of moderate‐to‐severe plaque psoriasis in recent years. However, ixekizumab has not been studied in a population of patients with renal insufficiency. We report two cases of plaque psoriasis patients with renal dysfunction successfully treated with ixekizumab without dose reduction,which experience no side effects and does not cause further kidney injury.
