Abstract:
Various specific and nonspecific dermatologic abnormalities are observed in chronic kidney disease (CKD). Dermatologic manifestations are observed at all stages of CKD and these increase with increasing duration and severity of the renal disease. Most of the studies in the literature have focussed mainly on dermatologic manifestations associated with dialysis and end-stage renal disease. We conducted a cross-sectional study to determine the prevalence, patterns, and risk factors of dermatologic disorders in CKD patients irrespective of clinical stage or status of dialysis.

Dialysis
Acute kidney injury develops suddenly and can be caused by pre-renal causes (e.g., hypovolemia, shock), intrinsic renal causes (e.g., acute tubular necrosis), or post-renal causes (e.g., urinary obstruction). In contrast, chronic renal failure progresses gradually over time and is often...
