I control group consisted of patients with psoriasis receiving standard therapy without the use of systemic retinoids. II control group consisted of patients taking acitretin about keratosis. Results. In 18 patients of the main group noted the development of side effects, such as xerosis and nail fragility. In 14 patients of the main group and 3 patients of the II control group the results of urinalysis tests and Nechiporenko sample were detected by elevated levels of red blood cells and the development of hematuria. Conclusion. The study found that 17 patients had development of hematuria, which can be considered regarded as a side effect of acitretin therapy.
