Abstract
Introduction: Chronic renal failure can impact various body systems, including the skin and its appendages. Patients with uremic conditions have been observed to experience a variety of nail changes. This study was conducted to evaluate the presence and type of fingernail changes in patients with end-stage renal failure (ESRF) on regular hemodialysis (HD) by nail dermoscopy.
Methods: A total of 100 patients with ESRF on regular HD three times a week. Nails were examined by dermoscopy for the presence of subtle nail changes.
Results: Nail changes were found in 91% of patients, while 9% did not have nail changes. The most common dermoscopic findings were as follows; scales in lateral nail fold in 91% of the patients, dry cuticle in 84%, onychoschizia in 72%, and longitudinal striation in 69%. There was no significant relation between nail changes and sex, duration of HD, and albumin level.
Conclusion: Patients with end-stage renal disease on HD are more likely to experience nail disorders. Scales in LNF, dry cuticle, onychoschizia, longitudinal striation, terry's nails, and half-and-half nails were the most common nail changes in HD patients.
