dc.description.abstractAim: Cutaneous alterations in patients with hemodialysis are frequently found but were variable. They present with multiple skin problems that have a significant impact on the quality of life of patients. The article aim to study the various cutaneous abnormalities and the factors affecting these manifestations in patients undergoing hemodialysis. Material and Methods: This study is descriptive and cross-sectional. The sample of the study consisted of 175 patients who met the inclusion criteria and were accepted to participate in the study. Patient information and questionnaire forms were used in the data collection. The data were collected by the researchers with the face to face interview. Results: It was found 73.1% of cases had at least one cutaneous finding attributable to hemodialysis patients and 33.7% of the patients had five skin problems together. The most common skin problems experienced by patients: Pruritus was observed in 65.1% of cases followed by xerosis (62.9%), pallor and hyperpigmentation (44%), skin lesion (38.9%), nail change (36.6%), and hair change (48.0%). Conclusion: Skin, hair and nail changes are common in hemodialysis patients. Dermatological manifestations increase with increasing duration of hemodialysis. Our observations necessitate a joint effort between and nephrologists, hemodialysis nurses, and dermatologists for the early recognition and management of these dermatoses which may reduce the morbidity and significantly improve the quality of life of hemodialysis patients. © 2021, Turk Nefroloji Diyaliz ve Transplantasyon Hemsireleri Dernegi.
