Abstract

Patients with renal disease presented with at least one cutaneous manifestation. The common cutaneous changes seen in our study were xerosis, pruritus, hyperpigmentation, infections, perforating dermatosis, hair changes, nail changes, oral cavity lesions and miscellaneous changes. Cutaneous changes were more in patients on medical management than on dialysis. The cutaneous changes increased with the severity of the renal disease. Stage 5 renal disease patients showed more cutaneous changes than stage 4 and stage 3. Early diagnosis and treatment of these skin lesions are essential to reduce patients' morbidity and mortality and improve their quality of life.
