- Abstract
The article discusses research on the development of prayer foot or talar callosity in a haemodialysis patient. It references a study by Alexander Woywodt of the Royal Preston Hospital at Sharoe Green Lane in England, published in the November 25, 2008 issue of "NDT Plus." The researchers studied the case of a 68-year-old Asian male on haemodialysis with end-stage renal failure. They found that the presence of devotional dermatoses can be an important clue to religious factors that may affect patient care.
