Morphological microcirculatory aspects in chronic uremia.
A fingertip biopsy was made in 18 patients affected by chronic uremia, in order to study the histangic changes. Partial occlusion of the blocking devices, capillary dilation and regressive changes in sensitive corpuscles, especially in Vater-Pacinian ones, were observed. The incidence of dermal necrosis and of calcium deposits was also high.
