Chronic renal failure is associated with complex array of cutaneous manifestations caused either by disease or treatment, the commonest are xerosis, pruritus, half-and-half nails and xerostomia. Expand
Cutaneous manifestations in patients with chronic renal failure on hemodialysis.
TLDR
The most prevalent finding was xerosis, followed by pallor, pruritus and cutaneous pigmentation, and the early recognition of cutaneous signs can relieve suffering and decrease morbidity among patients with CRF undergoing hemodialysis. Expand
Dermatological Manifestations in Chronic Renal FailurePatients on Haemodialysis
TLDR
There is a high prevalence of cutaneous changes in patients undergoing haemodialysis, with at least one cutaneous change found in 96% of patients. Expand
Dermatological disorders in chronic kidney disease with and without maintenance hemodialysis.
TLDR
Dermatological disorders were present in all CKD patients with significantly lower nail and hair changes in MHD, and a further longitudinal study is necessary to find out pathophysiology and effect of treatment in these disorders. Expand
Pattern of skin and nail changes in chronic renal failure in Nepal: A hospital‐based study
TLDR
The skin and nail changes were common in chronic renal failure and manifested in various forms and thorough inspection of the integument might reveal markers of occult renal disease. Expand
Dermatologic manifestations in patients of renal disease on hemodialysis
TLDR
Clinicians are familiarized about thedermatologic changes in patients with chronic renal failure (CRF) undergoing hemodialysis and on long-term hemodialysis to highlight cutaneous changes of diseases associated with the development of ESRF. Expand
Optimal dialysis improves uremic pruritus.
TLDR
It is concluded that higher dialysis efficacy with good nutritional state reduces the prevalence and degree of pruritus in hemodialyzed patients. Expand
Is aluminum toxicity responsible for uremic pruritus in chronic hemodialysis patients?
TLDR
The findings suggest that prolonged exposure to aluminum in patients with chronic renal failure might be involved in the pathogenesis of uremic pruritus and elevated calcium-phosphate product seems to be an additional factor predisposing toPruritus. Expand
Cutaneous manifestations of end-stage renal disease.
TLDR
This article focuses on specific and nonspecific cutaneous signs of end-stage renal disease, reviewing both banal and life-threatening conditions, including pruritus, perforating disorders, calcifying disorders, and bullous dermatoses. Expand
Relief of pruritus and decreases in plasma histamine concentrations during erythropoietin therapy in patients with uremia.
