Background: In psoriasis patients, circulating endocan is associated with disease severity and cardiovascular risk. Once again, endocan levels were correlated with inflammatory markers; individuals with psoriasis had greater amounts than controls. Elevated endocan levels may indicate inflammatory and endothelial factors contributing to erectile dysfunction pathophysiology (ED). As a new diagnostic indicator for the degree of erectile dysfunction, endocan could be helpful. The purpose of this review is to examine erectile dysfunction, serum endocan levels, psoriasis epidemiology, and pathophysiology in great detail. The endothelial and inflammatory components of the aetiology of both psoriasis and erectile dysfunction may be represented by increased endocan levels, according to the conclusions. One possible use for endocan is as a diagnostic marker for erectile dysfunction and psoriasis.

“…In this context, CRP, a well-established inflammatory biomarker is strongly, independently associated with the ED (Li et al, 2019). Onuk et al (2018) classified the ED patients (as severe, moderate, or mild) using the Sexual Health Inventory for Men (SHIM) questionnaire. They reported a significant difference in serum endocan levels between the severe ED and the control group.…”

Endothelial dysfunction (ED) occurs early in the development of atherosclerosis. Predictors of vascular risk including obesity, hyperlipidemia, metabolic syndrome, diabetes mellitus, and hypertension are associated with both vascular endothelial and ED. Endocan is a novel marker of endothelial dysfunction, inflammation, and atherosclerosis. Raised endocan levels (usually measured by ELISA assays) were reported in some cardiovascular diseases and related conditions. Increased endocan levels may represent the endothelial and inflammatory components of the pathogenesis of ED and may, therefore, prove useful in clinical practice.

Purpose of reviewTo consider the role of endocan as an inflammatory marker in cardiovascular diseases. Recent findingsEndocan, an endothelial inflammatory marker, is associated with cardiovascular disease. SummaryVascular endothelial inflammation plays a key role in the pathogenesis of inflammatory and cardiovascular diseases by influencing thrombogenesis, tumour invasion and secretion of bioactive mediators. We discuss the role of endocan mainly in the context of cardiology.

Is the plasma endocan level a reliable predictor for the severity of erectile dysfunction?

Abstract: This study demonstrated the presence of an association between plasma endocan levels and ED. Endocan may be used as a new diagnostic marker for the severity of ED.
