[Skin changes in hemodialysis patients].

M Morvay, D Lubach, P Froese

    Zeitschrift Fur Hautkrankheiten
    |June 1, 1987
    PubMed
    Summary

    Long-term hemodialysis patients frequently experience skin connective tissue issues, including Raynaud's syndrome and Dupuytren's contracture. Carpal tunnel syndrome prevalence significantly increases with longer hemodialysis treatment duration.

    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Nephrology
    • Rheumatology

    Context:

    • Investigating the impact of long-term hemodialysis on dermal connective tissue.
    • Comparing alterations in hemodialysis patients versus a healthy control group.

    Purpose:

    • To identify and quantify changes in skin connective tissue among patients undergoing long-term hemodialysis.
    • To explore correlations between hemodialysis duration and specific connective tissue disorders.

    Summary:

    • 188 long-term hemodialysis patients and 371 controls were assessed for skin connective tissue changes.
    • Observed alterations in hemodialysis patients included increased cold sensitivity/Raynaud's syndrome (42%), Dupuytren's contracture (22.4%), and finger dorsal sclerosis (17.6%).
    • Carpal tunnel syndrome affected 24.4% of hemodialysis patients, with a significant correlation to treatment duration.

    Impact:

    • Highlights potential dermatological complications associated with long-term hemodialysis.
    • Suggests the need for monitoring connective tissue health in patients on chronic hemodialysis.
    • Provides data on the prevalence of specific conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome in this population.
