Abstract

Patients with end-stage renal disease often suffer from different dermatologic conditions. Reports indicate that 50-100% of patients with end-stage renal disease have at least one cutaneous disorder. The persisting chronic uremia is responsible for a variety of structural and functional skin changes. Dialysis or even renal transplantation leads to an improvement of some uremia associated skin disorders, others however can persist.
