Abstract
Abstract:Chronic renal failure (CRF) presents with an array of cutaneous manifestations. Cutaneous signs of renal failure are mainly related to chronicity of disease. We evaluated the prevalence of various dermatological manifestations in patients undergoing hemodialysis at least twice a week for minimum of six months at our center. Patients were excluded if they were undergoing hemodialysis less than twice a week or on hemodialysis secondary to ESRD following graft dysfunction. 115 patients were evaluated. Among them, there were 90 male and 25 females. Among the skin changes, pruritus accounted for 53.03%, Xerosis was observed in 49.57%, Diffuse blackish hyper pigmentation was seen in 38.26%. Skin infections was seen in 45.2% of patients. Kyrle's disease was observed only in 5.2%.Nail changes were observed in 38 patients of whom 21 patients had onychomycosis. Discoloration, onycholysis, and splinter hemorrhages were other nail changes seen. Hair changes were observed in 16.2%. Pruritus, xerosis, and pigmentation were higher among skin changes in our study
