TAPIA-AMADOR, Guadalupe B. et al. Most frequent dermatosis in patients with kidney transplantation. Cir. cir. [online]. 2022, vol.90, n.5, pp.644-652. Epub 18-Nov-2022. ISSN 2444-054X. https://doi.org/10.24875/ciru.20001379.
Objective:
To determine the most frequent dermatoses in patients with kidney transplant in the dermatology consultation, Hospital de Especialidades, Centro Médico Nacional Siglo XXI, Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social, in Mexico City, in the period from March 2016 to March 2020.
Method:
Descriptive, cross-sectional study that included 153 patients with a complete medical history with prior informed consent and authorization from the hospital ethics committee.
Results:
All patients presented one or more dermatoses. The most frequent were infectious (mycosis, viral) and, in decreasing order, other dermatoses (keratosis pilaris, melasma), tumorous (benign), inflammatory (seborrheic dermatitis, eczema), probably secondary to drugs and autoimmune (alopecia areata).
Conclusions:
All kidney transplant patients presented at least one dermatosis, predominantly those of infectious origin. We recommend dermatological evaluation prior to transplantation for timely diagnosis and treatment of dermatoses that could increase the morbi-mortality of patients.
