- Abstract
Background and Design: This study is conducted to determine the prevalence and clinical characteristics of cutaneous manifestations in renal transplant patients. Materials and Methods: Hospital records of 116 renal transplant patients were retrospectively investigated. The data obtained from patients who had 6 months follow-up period were evaluated. There were 68 (58.6%) males and 48 (41.4%) females aged between 10 and 68 years (mean=36.6 years). Detailed dermatologic examination was performed. The patients were grouped according to gender (male-female), posttransplant period (1-5 years, 5-10 years, >10 years) and the drugs used (cyclosporin, tacrolimus, other than these two immunosuppressant drugs). Results: The most common cutaneous manifestations were infectious. The dermatological findings were onychomycosis (13), tinea pedis (9), acneiform disorders (15), and warts (9). The clinical evaluation after 6 months has also demonstrated the same result. Among the evaluated patients, 7% showed premalignant or malignant manifestations on clinical examination. According to the results obtained from the patient groups, it was found that gender, length of post-transplant period, and use of immunosuppressant drugs do not influence the clinical manifestations of patients. Conclusion: Dermatologic examinations and long-term follow-up should be performed in renal transplant patients.
