[Skin manifestations in kidney diseases].
Skin irritations in conjunction with renal disorders are often specific. Therefore a close inspection of the integument may point to an internal organ pathology. A selection of hereditary syndromes and a summary table are shown including acquired diseases displaying symptoms of the skin and the kidneys. A special emphasis is laid on specific and unspecific skin alterations under chronic renal failure. Instead of a detailed list of therapeutic possibilities, priority is given to the exact description of macroscopic and microscopic skin alterations including pathophysiologic mechanisms.
