Chronic kidney disease is an important public health issue and a growing contributor to global morbidity and mortality. Hemodialysis can improve survival in these patients. Jeswani et al. present a retrospective, observational study of 250 patients undergoing hemodialysis, and report on the prevalence of dermatological manifestations of chronic kidney disease, concluding that this is significantly associated with the duration of disease. The authors stress the importance of a multidisciplinary approach, specifically integrating dermatological assessments into routine evaluations to improve diagnostic accuracy and optimize treatment.
