Clinical and histological skin changes in chronic renal failure: evidence for a dialysis-resistant, transplant-responsive microangiopathy

Abstract

The relation between chronic renal failure and the clinical and histological findings in normal-looking skin was studied in twenty-seven patients with minimum to marked rises of serum creatinine; eleven of these were on maintenance haemodialysis, and three were successful renal transplant recipients. Clinical findings, including pruritus and xerosis which affected 48% and 60%, respectively, of the patients overall, correlated strongly with severity of renal failure. Histological examination revealed endothelial cell activation and/or necrosis, basement membrane zone thickening, and reduplication of the basal lamina involving both venules and arterioles in all specimens. The microangiopathy was severe in 18 of 24 (75%) of the uraemic specimens, but severity correlated poorly with serum creatinine level, haemodialysis status, or known duration of renal failure, except that it was less severe in the first 2 years (p < 0.02). In contrast, the microangiopathy was very much less severe in the transplant recipients than in haemodialysed patients (p < 0.02) and, in the patient studied both before and after transplantation, changes regressed from severe to moderate within 2 months of transplantation. Other histological findings present ...Continue Reading

Allogenic & Autologous Therapies

Allogenic therapies are generated in large batches from unrelated donor tissues such as bone marrow. In contrast, autologous therapies are manufactures as a single lot from the patient being treated. Here is the latest research on allogenic and autologous therapies.
