Serum Neurofilament Light Chain Levels Correlate With Skin Inflammation and Scratch Lesions in Patients With Pruritus
Background: Neurofilament light chain (NfL) has been identified as a biomarker in neuroaxonal injury. Cutaneous nerve injury resulting from inflammation and/or forced scratching may also potentially affect serum NfL (sNfL) levels.
Objectives: We aimed to explore the relationship between sNfL levels and the severity of skin inflammation and scratch lesions in patients with pruritus.
Methods: In this cross-sectional pilot study, we measured the sNfL levels of 10 patients with pruritus of different aetiologies, and calculated age- and BMI-adjusted sNfL percentiles based on a normative database consisting of 4532 control individuals. Next, we investigated the relationship between the levels of sNfL and the severity of skin inflammation and scratching injuries in these patients using a newly-created Skin Inflammation and Scratch Lesions (SISL) score.
Results: A positive correlation was observed between sNfL levels and the severity of skin inflammation and scratch lesions as measured by the SISL score (Spearman’s rho = 0.70, p = 0.031). When correlated separately, both the “skin inflammation only” and “scratch lesions only” scores correlated positively with sNfL levels (Spearman’s rho = 0.68, p = 0.031; Spearman’s rho = 0.66, p = 0.041, respectively).
Conclusions: sNfL may be a potential biomarker for cutaneous nerve injury associated with skin inflammation and/or scratching.
期刊介绍：
Dermatologic Therapy has been created to fill an important void in the dermatologic literature: the lack of a readily available source of up-to-date information on the treatment of specific cutaneous diseases and the practical application of specific treatment modalities. Each issue of the journal consists of a series of scholarly review articles written by leaders in dermatology in which they describe, in very specific terms, how they treat particular cutaneous diseases and how they use specific therapeutic agents. The information contained in each issue is so practical and detailed that the reader should be able to directly apply various treatment approaches to daily clinical situations. Because of the specific and practical nature of this publication, Dermatologic Therapy not only serves as a readily available resource for the day-to-day treatment of patients, but also as an evolving therapeutic textbook for the treatment of dermatologic diseases.
