Presentation Title:

Reactive perforating collagenosis in hemodialysis patients

Abstract

Chronic Kidney Disease associated Pruritus (CKD-aP) in hemodialysis affects approximately 38% of our patients. It is not associated with any dermatological lesion other than the common scratching lesions, a consequence of the same symptom. The causes associated with itching have been studied in various treatments. However, there is a relatively rare condition that involves 10% of hemodialysis patients, namely reactive perforating collagenosis. This is a pathological condition secondary to chronic hemodialysis therapy, where widespread itching develops, no longer unrelated to lesions, but rather associated with a peculiar reactive dermatosis with perforation of the dermis and development of dermal-epidermal continuity solutions with extrusion of matrix components dermal, In this work we will report our experience with a diagnosed case of this condition.
