Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Psoriasis is chronic skin disease. Broken glass attenuation (ground glass opacities - GO) on CT scan is commonly seen with lung inflammation. Both of them are seen with connective tissue diseases (CTD). So in my opinion, you should get done Serum ANA level and detailed ANA profile. If both these are negative then these are not connected. If ANA is positive then possibility of CTD is more likely. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
