Expert consensus on the clinical application of niacin skin flush detection in psychiatry-Expert consensus of CSNP psychiatric disorders research alliance (2024 edition)
Journal Title: Chinese Journal of Nervous and Mental Diseases - Year 2024, Vol 50, Issue 11
Abstract
Attenuated niacin skin response is a known biological endophenotype of psychotic disorders. By measuring the degree of erythema induced by niacin, about 30% of psychiatric disorders can be identified as having this characteristic, which may be related to the pathophysiological mechanisms of phospholipid-inflammatory imbalance. This detection provides new prevention and treatment strategies for clinicians. To further promote the clinical application and operational standards of this technique, the Chinese Society of Neuroscience & Psychiatry (CSNP) Psychotic Disorders Research Alliance discussed and formulated the “Expert Consensus on the Clinical Application of Niacin Skin Response Detection in Psychiatry”. This consensus delved into the physiological mechanisms of niacin skin reactions, their abnormal mechanisms associated with psychotic disorders, detection methods, defining criteria, evidence as biomarkers for psychotic disorders, auxiliary diagnostic value, and clinical intervention measures. Expert recommendations were formulated regarding the necessity of this detection, its scope of application, standardization of procedures, interpretation of results, targeted interventions, and its value in early screening and prevention.
