Abstract: 【Abstract】 Early detection and treatment are essential to improve the prognosis of patients with psoriatic arthritis.

This review summarizes diagnostic methods of psoriatic arthritis and nail psoriasis in recent years, and analyzes the latest studies on the correlation between psoriatic arthritis and nail psoriasis, in order to facilitate early diagnosis of psoriatic arthritis through clues of nail psoriasis.
