[PMID: 32099542 PMCID: PMC7040402 DOI: 10.1155/2020/9186309] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/15/2019] [Revised: 12/31/2019] [Accepted: 01/23/2020] [Indexed: 11/28/2022] Open
Abstract
Introduction. Dermatological damage in chronic hemodialysis patients is not uncommon. In Benin, to date, no study on the dermatological manifestations of chronic hemodialysis patients has been carried out. However, the presence of cutaneous signs is evident in these patients, and the need for dermatological care is not negligible. The objective of this study was to identify the epidemiological and clinical profile of the main dermatological manifestations presented by chronic hemodialysis patients at the NTH-HKM of Cotonou (Benin).

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Dermatologic manifestations are common among patients on chronic hemodialysis and may represent systemic involvement. Our study aims to determine the epidemiological and clinical profile of skin damages in black patients living in Yaounde, Cameroon. METHODS We conducted a cross sectional study including all patients receiving chronic haemodialysis treatment for at least 3 months in two hemodialysis centers in Yaounde from February to May 2014. Patients underwent an interview and a dermatological examination. Chi-squared tests and Student's t-test (or equivalents) were used for statistical analysis, with significance level at p <0.05. RESULTS A total of 112 patients (78 (69.9%) men) with an average age of 48.6 ± 13 years and a mean duration of dialysis of 46,3 ± 37 months were included in the study. Skin lesions were present in 94 (83.9%) patients. Xerosis (63.3%), pruritus (37.5%), melanoderma (34.8%), acne (12.5%) and half and half nails (10.7%) were the most common dermatologic manifestations. Xerosis was associated with anuria (p = 0.0001) and advanced age (p = 0.032); melanoderma was associated with anuria (p = 0.042) and time spent on dialysis (p = 0.027) while half and half nails were associated with young age (p = 0.018) and biweekly dialysis (p = 0.01 ). CONCLUSION Skin damages are frequent and dominated by xerosis, pruritus and melanoderma in patients on chronic hemodialysis living in Yaounde. Biweekly dialysis, advanced age, anuria and time spent on dialysis were associated factors.

World J Nephrol 2016; 5:372-377.

Abstract
AIM: To examine all skin changes in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients followed up in our unit.
METHODS: Patients on PD program for at least three months without any known chronic skin disease were included in the study. Patients with already diagnosed skin disease, those who have systemic diseases that may cause skin lesions, patients with malignancies and those who did not give informed consent were excluded from the study. All patients were examined by the same predetermined dermatologist with all findings recorded. The demographic, clinical and laboratory data including measures of dialysis adequacy of patients were recorded also. Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) for Windows 16.0 standard version was used for statistical analysis.
RESULTS: Among the patients followed up in our PD unit, those without exclusion criteria who gave informed consent, 38 patients were included in the study with male/female ratio and mean age of 26/12 and 50.3 ± 13.7 years, respectively. The duration of CKD was 7.86 ± 4.16 years and the mean PD duration was 47.1 ± 29.6 mo. Primary kidney disease was diabetic nephropathy in 11, nephrosclerosis in six, uropathologies in four, chronic glomerulonephritis in three, chronic pyelonephritis in three, autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease in three patients while cause was unknown in eight patients. All patients except for one patient had at least one skin lesion. Loss of lunula, onychomycosis and tinea pedis are the most frequent skin disorders recorded in the study group. Diabetic patients had tinea pedis more frequently (P = 0.045). No relationship of skin findings was detected with primary renal diseases, comorbidities and medications that the patients were using.
CONCLUSION: Skin abnormalities are common in in PD patients. The most frequent skin pathologies are onychomycosis and tinea pedis which must not be overlooked.

Abstract
Our study aims to highlight the most common skin disorders in patients on chronic hemodialysis at the University Hospital Yalgado Ouédraogo (CHU-YO) in Ouagadougou. The study, of transverse type descriptive, carried out of September 15 to December 31, 2014, is unrolled with the CHU-YO. This descriptive transversal study was conducted at the CHU-YO from September 15 to December 31, 2014. It involved patients who had been on chronic dialysis for at least 3 months. The frequency of hemodialysis sessions was one every five days. The significance level of statistical tests was defined as the probability p ≤ 0.05. Eighty-five patients (61.1% men and 38.9% women) with an average age of 42.1 years were included in the study. The mean duration of hemodialysis was 31.9 months. The success rate of biological examinations varied from 7,4 to 85,3%. Eighty patients (85,3%) had at least one cutaneous manifestation. Cutaneous xerosis (67.4%), pruritus (45.3%), and hyperpigmentation (23.2%) were the most frequent skin manifestations that may be specific of hemodialysis. Guttate hypomelanosis (11.6%), prurigo (11.6%) and folliculitis (8.4%) were the main non-specific skin manifestations. Skin involvement was frequent but did not seem related to seniority in hemodialysis. In Ouagadougou, bad hemodialysis conditions and a hot, dry environment promote such conditions, especially xerosis and pruritus. A better subvention of health care could help to reduce the prevalence of skin diseases and to improve the quality of life of our patients on chronic hemodialysis.

J Dermatol Case Rep 2014; 8:86-94. [PMID: 25621088 DOI: 10.3315/jdcr.2014.1182] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/22/2013] [Accepted: 01/13/2014] [Indexed: 12/26/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Cutaneous manifestations occurring in patients with end stage renal failure on hemodialysis are polymorphic and diverse. OBJECTIVE The aim of our study was to assess the prevalence and characteristics of different cutaneous manifestations in patients on hemodialysis. PATIENTS AND METHODS We led a transverse investigation of all patients on hemodialysis in 12 haemodialysis centres of Sfax (Tunisia). We examined 458 patients (254 men and 204 women). The hemodialysis history ranged from 6 months to 24 years. A total of 394/458 (86%) patients had cutaneous abnormalities. These included pruritus (56.6% of patients), paleness (60.7%), xerosis (52.8%), hyperpigmentation or hypopigmentation (38.4%), venous dilation near the fistula (22.2%), eczema in the fistula area (14.8%), half-and-half nails (13.5%), onychodystrophy (6.1%), subungual hemorrhage (4.5%), leukonychia (4.5%), stomatitis (5.6%), xerostomia (3.2%), gingivitis (2.4%), uremic breath (2.1%), and skin calcificatins (0.4%). Nephrogenic fibrosing dermopathy was not detected in any of our patients. CONCLUSIONS Pruritus, paleness, dry skin as well as hyperpigmentation and hypopigmentation are the most frequent skin abnormalities observed in hemodialysis patients. The early recognition of some cutaneous conditions associated with end stage renal failure and hemodialysis may allow early therapeutic intervention and decrease morbidity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hemodialysis patients have frequent and various cutaneous manifestations of often hypothetical pathogenesis. Chronic renal failure (CRF) presents with an array of cutaneous manifestations. The objective was to evaluate the prevalence and nature of cutaneous lesions associated with CRF patients on hemodialysis patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS Transversal and observational study of 53 patients with CRF on regular hemodialysis. RESULTS There were 28 women and 25 men. Their mean age was 44 year-old. All patients had cutaneous manifestations and 64% complained of dermatological signs. Cutaneous xerosis and pigmentation disorders were found in 96 and 94% of patients, respectively. Other manifestations were pallor (41%), pruritus (20.7%), a diffuse hair loss (35.8%) and nails changes (66%). COMMENTS Cutaneous manifestations in hemodialysis patients are frequent polymorphous. Their incidence varies from 50 to 100% of the series. Their knowledge deserves a proper management by both dermatologists and nephrologists to improve the life quality of hemodialysis patients.
