A wide variety of skin diseases occur in patients with chronic kidney disease. These diseases are sometimes related to the underlying renal illness but are more frequently directly or indirectly associated with ‘uremia’ in its broadest sense. With an almost 100% prevalence in dialysis populations, skin disorders are frequently the subject of patients’ complaints. Skin disorders associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD) can markedly affect a patient’s quality of life and can negatively impact their mental and physical health. Skin involvement can be extensive, and a number of dermatologic disorders may affect ESRD patients. An effort has been put to understand the incidence of different skin conditions in kidney diseases.
