Abstract EN
Cutaneous disorders can precede or follow the initiation of hemodialysis treatment.
We evaluated the prevalence of various dermatological manifestations in patients undergoing hemodialysis at least twice a week for minimum of three 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.
One hundred and forty-three patients were evaluated.
Among them, there were 113 male and 30 females.
Among the skin changes, pruritus accounted for 56%, Xerosis was observed in 52%, Diffuse blackish hyper pigmentation was seen in 40%.
Skin infections was seen in 53% of patients, of these fungal, bacterial and viral infections were 27.2%, 14.6%, and 11.2%, respectively.
Kyrle’s disease was observed only in 6.9%.
Other skin manifestations include eczema 4.8%, psoriasis 2.7%, and drug rash 2.1%.
Nail changes were observed in 46 patients of whom 27 patients had onychomycosis.
Other changes include discoloration, onycholysis, and splinter hemorrhages.
Hair changes were observed in 21.7%.
Mucosal changes were seen in 27.3%.
In our study, pruritus, xerosis, and pigmentation were higher among skin changes.
Recognition and management of some of these dermatological manifestations vastly reduce the morbidity and improve the quality of life.
