title: [Cutaneous manifestations in patients on chronic hemodialysis in a developing country].
abstract: Our study aims to highlight the most common skin disorders in patients on chronic hemodialysis at the University Hospital Yalgado Ouédraogo (CHU-YO) in Ouagadougou. The study, of transverse type descriptive, carried out of September 15 to December 31, 2014, is unrolled with the CHU-YO. This descriptive transversal study was conducted at the CHU-YO from September 15 to December 31, 2014. It involved patients who had been on chronic dialysis for at least 3 months. The frequency of hemodialysis sessions was one every five days. The significance level of statistical tests was defined as the probability p ≤ 0.05. Eighty-five patients (61.1% men and 38.9% women) with an average age of 42.1 years were included in the study. The mean duration of hemodialysis was 31.9 months. The success rate of biological examinations varied from 7,4 to 85,3%. Eighty patients (85,3%) had at least one cutaneous manifestation. Cutaneous xerosis (67.4%), pruritus (45.3%), and hyperpigmentation (23.2%) were the most frequent skin manifestations that may be specific of hemodialysis. Guttate hypomelanosis (11.6%), prurigo (11.6%) and folliculitis (8.4%) were the main non-specific skin manifestations. Skin involvement was frequent but did not seem related to seniority in hemodialysis. In Ouagadougou, bad hemodialysis conditions and a hot, dry environment promote such conditions, especially xerosis and pruritus. A better subvention of health care could help to reduce the prevalence of skin diseases and to improve the quality of life of our patients on chronic hemodialysis.
